Carlos Boozer suffered turf toe on his right foot that he said he heard pop and contributed to him sitting for the final 18 minutes, 17 seconds of the Bulls’ Game 5 win over the Pacers.

"We'll just see how it goes every day, try to get the pain out of it," Boozer said. "I'm in a great deal of pain. But I got until the next round starts.

"I told (coach Tom Thibodeau) if he needed me I'd be out there and try to gut it out. He said, 'If I need you, I'll put you in. If not, we'll just try to get it better.'"


Boozer averaged 10 points and 10.2 rebounds in 30:23 for the series.
