Michael Jordan will not have his right knee drained for the third time this season afterall, instead opting to ice and rest.  He will not travel with the team to Detroit to face the Pistons Wednesday night.

"I don't think it's the fluid aspect," coach Doug Collins said. "He really had no All-Star break, and he got banged. It's more of a bruise. Michael would try to fight through this, but I told Michael I wanted him to rest.

"He can have 72 hours' rest before we have to strap it on against New Jersey on Thursday night. It's important for him to get that feeling back."
