Jordan Bell is expanding his game by keeping it simple.Known for his defense, the junior forward for No. 20 Oregon is becoming more multidimensional. It was on display this past weekend against UNLV when he had a career-high 16 points and a season-high 12 rebounds for his first double-double of the season. The Ducks defeated the Rebels 83-63.Oregon (10-2) hosts Fresno State on Tuesday night for the teams final nonconference game before the start of the Pac-12 season. The Ducks will be challenged at the start of league play at home by No. 2 UCLA on Dec. 28.Bell is averaging 9.3 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, both career highs, along with 2.5 blocks. Hes been in double-figures in points five times this season. And hes playing more minutes.I think I am getting into a groove now, things are coming easier for me now and I am keeping it simpler, Bell said. Last year, I figured out what to do when I came in. This year I have a set role of what to do so I can just focus on rebounding, defense and blocking shots.Last season, when Oregon went to the Elite Eight as a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament for the first time ever, the 6-foot-9 Bell averaged seven points and 5.4 rebounds.He is almost a reluctant scorer in there. He doesnt demand the ball and doesnt post up a lot. He has never been a great scorer in high school or AAU, he has always kind of been a defender, rebounder and facilitator, coach Dana Altman said. Now in his third year, you expect that to be part of the growth, to take a more aggressive position on offense and try to score.A native of Los Angeles, Bell worked his way into the starting lineup early in his freshman season and finished with a conference-leading average of 2.69 blocks per game. His 94 total blocks gave him the single-season record for the Ducks.As a sophomore last season, he topped Oregons career block list. He drew attention in the Ducks Sweet 16 win over Duke with 13 points, seven rebounds, three blocks and two steals.When I first came here, we had Joe (Young), Bell said. He took care of the scoring. Every year, Ive try to expand my role and see what I need to do exactly. This year, we dont really have an inside post player, so Im really focused on that.Bell emerged this weekend against the Rebels in the absence of senior forward Chris Boucher, who was on crutches and wearing a boot on his right foot on the Ducks bench. Altman said Boucher sprained his ankle in practice and X-rays were negative. Boucher wont play against Fresno State and instead will heal up for Pac-12 season.The 6-foot-10 Boucher is averaging 14.1 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.2 blocks per game for Oregon this season. He ranks 10th nationally in blocks.Boucher played in Oregons 81-67 victory at home over Montana last Tuesday night, scoring 23 points with 19 rebounds. He was a rebound short of becoming the Ducks first player since 1977 with 20 or more points and rebounds.Bell says hes willing to step up whenever -- and however -- hes needed. Against UNLV, he was 7 of 8 from the field, including four left-handed layups.Im actually left-handed, he shrugged. For some reason, I dont go to it. I dont know why.

BOSTON -- Celtics big man Al Horford said he plans to travel with the team on a two-game road trip that starts Saturday night in Indiana with hopes of returning to game action after being sidelined for nearly two weeks due to a concussion.Horford, who has slowly navigated the NBAs return-to-action protocol, missed his fourth straight game with Fridays visit from the New York Knicks. He engaged in an individual workout before Fridays game and is encouraged by his recent progress.Ive been banged in the head before, but nothing like this, said Horford, who was reluctant to get into the specifics of the injury or his recovery.Im getting better each day and the past two days have been really good for me. I was able to get on the court a lot more and run up and down. Do a lot of movement, a lot of stuff I wasnt able to do a couple of days ago.The Celtics had lost all three games without Horford entering Fridays tilt with the Knicks and have been a mess defensively.Its been difficult [to watch] just because you want to be out there helping your teammates, fighting every night, Horford said. Its tested my patience this time. Everyone here has been very supportive, starting with coach [Brad Stevens]. Just down the line all the guys. But Im just very encouraged by my work today. I feel like Im in pretty good shape.Stevens said that Horford would only travel iff he had the potential to play on the trip.dddddddddddd The Celtics visit the Pacers on Saturday night, then play in New Orleans on Monday. The Celtics have urged Horford to be patient in his recovery.I dont want to even act like Im a doctor but, from what I understand, each concussion is unique, Stevens said. It was diagnosed as a mild concussion but as long as there are symptoms that reoccur then that continues the protocol. And thats good. Im thankful Im coaching in an era where thats the case. The most important thing is that his health is prioritized. And mild or not, a concussions a concussion.The 30-year-old Horford, who signed a four-year, $113 million deal with the Celtics this offseason, said he was now operating with an awareness that head injuries are much different than typical bumps and bruises.I honestly didnt understand it before now, Horford said. I would always hear stuff, see documentaries and stuff. But you dont fully understand -- you know, with an ankle, with a knee, Ive played through plenty of stuff and its no problem. But with the brain, its a little different. Its been a challenge for me because Ive had to be patient. The good thing is that now Im at the point that Im starting to feel good again. ' ' '
