Carlos Boozer missed his third consecutive practice on Sunday due to turf toe, but is expected to play in Game 1 against the Hawks in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

"He'll be ready," Joakim Noah said.

Boozer, who declined to comment until after Monday morning's shootaround, did some individual shooting on the side and participated in some of the walk-through portions of practice.

"He said his foot is feeling a lot better," Tom Thibodeau said. "He did some shooting and stationary bike. As long as he keeps getting better, that's the encouraging thing.
