Bobcats center Jefferson resting, still in walking boot

Bobcats center Al Jefferson said that while his left foot remains extremely sore, he plans to play in Game 2 of the best-of-seven playoff series Wednesday night against Miami Heat.

"I'm suiting up," Jefferson said Monday. "It's going to take more than that to make me sit out. We have worked too hard to get to this point."

Jefferson injured his foot in the first quarter of Sunday's 99-88 loss to the two-time defending NBA champions.
