--G Charlie Bell didn't get off the bench against the Raptors Wednesday night at the Bradley Center, the first time he hasn't seen action all season. Bell has been in a major shooting slump, having made only six of his last 24 shots -- 25 percent -- from the floor.

--G Carlos Delfino has been reluctant to attack the basket. Delfino, who started his second straight game at shooting guard Wednesday night against the Raptors after having started at small forward, went to the line just two times against the Raptors. He attempted just one free throw in the previous four games.

--C Francisco Elson remains buried on the bench. Elson was inactive for the fourth straight game Wednesday night against the Raptors and hasn't appeared in a game since Nov. 27, when he played just six minutes against the Thunder.

MEDICAL WATCH:

--G Michael Redd (sore left knee) is sidelined for the second time this season. Redd, who missed nine games earlier this season with a sprained left patella tendon, is now out with soreness in the knee. Redd didn't play in Wednesday night's game against the Raptors, but said he is close to returning to action.

--F Joe Alexander (right hamstring tear) hasn't played in any preseason or regular-season games. He is now running and jumping and hopes to return to action in early January.

--G Luke Ridnour (sore elbow) played against the Raptors Wednesday night, but is listed as day-to-day.
