"Ben Gordon missed a portion of the Bulls' 3-hour-15-minute practice Monday after jamming his toe. Gordon also is nursing a sore ankle, although coach Vinny Del Negro said neither injury is serious and Gordon hasn't sat for an entire practice.

Michael Ruffin and Joakim Noah remain out with ankle and eye injuries, respectively. Del Negro said Aaron Gray returned from his sprained ankle to participate in certain drills during Monday's practice."
