Guard Raja Bell wanted to play Saturday, but the right ankle he sprained with 3:38 to go in Friday's win was not willing. It swelled and was black and blue Saturday, clearing the way for Leandro Barbosa to start.

Bell said he would try to at least shoot at Monday's practice in hopes of getting ready to play Tuesday's home game against New York.

"If it was a playoff game, I don't think I could've played," Bell said. "That's what I use as a gauge."

"As the soreness starts to go away, I'd like to think I could shoot and do some stuff Monday. I definitely don't plan on missing Tuesday."
