Raja Bell is set to return to the Suns starting lineup tonight after missing two games with injured ribs.

A scheduling break - Phoenix has not played since Saturday - provided Bell a welcome respite.

"That's what I was trying to do out here the last couple days - find out how I can play as hard as I like to play without putting them (his ribs) in harm's way," said Bell, who feels "constricted" in the vest. "I've taken a couple shots and they withstood it."

"I might as well sit if I'm not going to go out there and play the way I'm used to playing."
