Suns guard Raja Bell will miss Game 3 of the Western Conference finals Sunday against Dallas, the East Valley Tribune is reporting.

The news came after Bell was stiff and sore following the team's flight home from Dallas, Bell walking again with a noticeable limp following treatment and exercise administered by the Suns' training staff Saturday morning at US Airways Center.

Suns trainer Aaron Nelson told Bell that the earliest he could possibly be back is Game 4 on Tuesday. Even that, Nelson said, might be pushing it.

?That's a little disappointing to hear," said Bell. ?It wasn't as (improved) as I wanted to see today. That's just the nature of the injury."
