Bulls center Joakim Noah left practice on Thursday to undergo a bone scan on his troublesome left foot.

Noah has been battling plantar fasciitis for quite some time.

"He went to get a bone scan on his foot, but he felt pretty good this morning," Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro said. "Obviously, he didn't play a lot [Wednesday] night so we'll see what the results are.

"It's going to be a monitored thing every day. Depending on how he feels, and then therapy and just see how it works out."

Noah played just seven minutes in Wednesday's 120-110 win over the Pacers.

"The birthday's been good," said Noah, who turned 25 on Thursday. "I went to go get treatment. I went to go get X-rays; hung out with some doctors. It was pretty cool. Missed practice. A good day so far. At least it's nice outside.

"I'm hurting, obviously. But, it's the end of the season right now and I want to be there for my team, and I want to be as ready as possible come playoff time."
