Despite being injured in various ways all season, first with a sore left heel, and now a sore knee, Chris Bosh will continue to play.

"I don't know what it is," he said yesterday, following the team's morning shootaround at Philips Arena. "But there's no swelling, that's the good thing about it."

Only a risk of further damage to the knee will keep Bosh on the sidelines.

"It's not hindering anything, so that's the good thing. It's just sore," he said. "But I ain't no little girl. I'm a player.

"We're trying to make the playoffs. Ain't got to time to sit out now."
