Suns' guard Raja Bell missed his second consecutive game Tuesday night due to his sprained right ankle.

Bell tested the ankle at Tuesday's shootaround and decided to delay his return until at least Thursday's home game with Chicago. He will be re-evaluated at today's practice.

"I don't want to risk it and wind up with a lingering problem," Bell said.

"It's just not 100 percent," Suns' coach Mike D'Antoni said. "I don't want him to go unless he's 100 (percent). He said he felt (soreness) a little bit. It's too early to play with it."

Bell sprained the ankle Friday in Miami when, after being called for traveling, he took a jumper and landed on Shaquille O'Neal's foot.
