While the Chicago Bulls were missing Ben Gordon and Luol Deng in their 88-77 loss to Phoenix, the Suns were missing a starter of their own.

Grant Hill, who missed almost two weeks following an appendectomy, was forced to sit due to back spasms.

"It actually does feel better, but I've got to nip it in the bud and get it right," said Hill. "Hopefully, it'll continue to progress and feel better [for] the next game."
