In addition to a deep bruise to his quadriceps, Chauncey Billups is suffering from knee swelling associated with being kneed by Dwight Howard last week.

"I'm not going to say definitely anything," Billups said Wednesday. "When I'm able to play, I'll play."

Mike D'Antoni sounded more optimistic about him playing as soon as Saturday.

"We could have pushed him, but he'll have these two days," he said. "I don't know if he'll play or not, but then we play Sunday. So Sunday he's definitely going to play."
