From UConn: Shabazz Napier sat out of practice on Sunday to rest his bruised shoulder. The Huskies had Monday and Tuesday off from practice, and Napier continues to get treatment from trainer James Doran. He is improving daily and there is nothing structurally wrong, according to Doran, just a bruise that needs time to heal.

Doran expects Napier to practice on Wednesday and, barring any unforeseen changes, doesn't anticipate a problem with him playing against Rutgers on Sunday at 1 p.m. at the XL Center.
