"I don't really know right now," Chandler said after Monday's
practice. "Right now, it's kind of sore. I'll just have to see how
it feels tomorrow."

The Bulls beat the Heat 93-87 on Sunday to even the
best-of-seven series at 2-2, but they might have lost Chandler in
the process. The injury occurred during the final minute of Game 4
as the teams battled for a rebound. Chandler, who was wearing a
walking boot on Monday, said the pain was mostly in the front of
his foot and Achilles tendon.

"When I went down, I felt like it was really bad," said
Chandler, who was wearing a walking boot Monday. "After a while,
it calms down a little bit. It's real sore this morning."

Chandler, the Bulls' backup to Michael Sweetney, scored one
point and grabbed three rebounds in 22 minutes on Sunday.

"We'll just have to rely on our depth," coach Scott Skiles
said. "It's not something we can control right now. I saw the play
several times, and he rolled it pretty good."
