Hinrich (illness) was not at Monday's morning shootaround and is unlikely to play against the Bucks, the Chicago Tribune's K.C. Johnson reports.
He missed Saturday's game with the illness as well, and is apparently still under the weather. Aaron Brooks will likely be asked to man the the backup point guard duties once again against Milwaukee.
Sat Feb 21 201517:54Kirk Hinrich: (Illness) Out Saturday
Hinrich is dealing with an illness and will not be able to take the court against the Suns on Saturday, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Hinrich just recently returned to the action after battling a toe injury that caused him to miss three-straight games. He should be considered day-to-day moving forward with his next chance to play coming against the Bucks on Monday.
Sat Feb 21 201500:27Hinrich (toe) returned from three-game absence Friday
Hinrich (toe) returned from a three-game absence Friday. He scored seven points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt) in 17 minutes against the Pistons.
Though Hinrich is an important piece of the Bulls backcourt rotation, he has minimal fantasy value at this point in his career.
Thu Feb 19 201513:32Hinrich (toe) expected to play Friday against Detroit
Hinrich (toe) is expected to play Friday against Detroit, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.
After practicing in full for the second straight day, Hinrich is on track to return to the court after missing the last three games prior to the All-Star break. Hinrich averaged more than 26 minutes per game in January, but he doesn't produce much in terms of counting stats, which severely restricts his fantasy value.
Wed Feb 18 201519:56Hinrich (toe) practiced in full Wednesday
Hinrich (toe) practiced in full Wednesday, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Hinrich sat out the final three outings before the break due to left turf toe, but the extended rest should result in his first appearance since Feb. 7. Because the Bulls will be at full strength, expect Hinrich to come off the bench Friday at Detroit.
Thu Feb 12 201519:54Kirk Hinrich: (Toe) Out Thursday
Hinrich (toe) won't play Thursday against the Cavaliers, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Hinrich didn't practice Wednesday and wasn't expected to play Thursday, and that is indeed the case. With Jimmy Butler also rule out Thursday, Ian Snell, Aaron Brooks and Mike Dunleavy will likely see expanded minutes.

Hinrich (toe) did not practice Wednesday and is not expected to play Thursday against the Cavaliers, ESPN Chicago reports.
Hinrich will be able to rest his toe over the All-Star break, but even when he does return he just doesn't produce enough to be a major fantasy contributor. He is only averaging 6.5 points and 2.5 assists a game this season.
Tue Feb 10 201512:09Hinrich (toe) ruled out for Tuesday's game against Kings
Hinrich (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Kings, KC Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Hinrich was diagnosed with turf toe following Saturday's win over New Orleans, and he sat out Sunday's game against the Magic. He'll remain out Tuesday and will likely sit out Thursday's matchup with Cleveland, which would provide him the entire All-Star break to recover.
Sun Feb 8 201511:21Hinrich (toe) will not play in Sunday's game against Magic
Hinrich (toe) will not play in Sunday's game against the Magic, Nick Friedell of ESPN reports.
Hinrich exited Saturday's game against the Pelicans with left turf toe and should be considered day-to-day moving forward. His next next chance to get on the court will come against the Kings on Tuesday while Tony Snell benefits from added value in the meantime.

Hinrich won't return to Saturday's game at New Orleans as a result of left turf toe, ESPN Chicago reports.
Hinrich toughed out 15 minutes in the first half, but his production (two points, two rebounds, and two assists) was only modest at best. In any case, consider him highly questionable to take the court Sunday in Orlando.
Sat Feb 7 201511:42Hinrich started Wednesday's game against Rockets as he compiled ...
Hinrich started Wednesday's game against the Rockets as he compiled three points, four rebounds, four rebounds, and one block in 31 minutes.
Hinrich enjoyed the start over Tony Snell on Wednesday but is still a limited option even during significant stints on the court. With Mike Dunleavy's return from an ankle injury imminent, Hinrich will likely move back to the bench for the long term.
Wed Feb 4 201520:12Hinrich will start Wednesday's game at Houston
Hinrich will start Wednesday's game at Houston.
After acting as a reserve the past two games, Hinrich is in the starting five Wednesday in place of Tony Snell. In 20 starts this season, Hinrich has averaged 8.4 points (on 37 percent shooting), three assists, two rebounds, 1.3 three-pointers, and one steal in 30 minutes.
Fri Jan 30 201510:00Hinrich moved back to normal role off bench against Lakers on Th...
Hinrich moved back to his normal role off the bench against the Lakers on Thursday as he only mustered up two points, three rebounds, and one assist in 27 minutes of action.
Hinrich often receives a promotion into the starting lineup when guys like Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler are ruled out, but otherwise Hinrich is a limited player off the bench who needs significant time on the court to become fantasy relevant. In evidence of this, the 33-year-old has never scored more than 12 points or registered over five assists when playing under 28 minutes in any given game this season.
Thu Jan 29 201522:42Hinrich will come off bench against Lakers on Thursday
Hinrich will come off the bench against the Lakers on Thursday, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Hinrich will move back to the bench following the return of Jimmy Butler, with Nikola Mirotic receiving the start Thursday. It seems highly unlikely he will see close to the 38 minutes he received against Golden State on Tuesday.
Wed Jan 28 201503:25Hinrich got start for Jimmy Butler on Tuesday as Butler sideline...
Hinrich got the start for Jimmy Butler on Tuesday as Butler was sidelined with an illness. In a game that wasn't decided until the final seconds of overtime, Hinrich had five points (2-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds, and two steals in 38 minutes on the floor.
With Derrick Rose taking slightly more than a third of the Bulls shots Tuesday, Hinrich didn't have a ton of scoring chances. He did convert on a clutch three pointer to give Chicago the lead late in the fourth, however. He'll return to the bench when Butler returns, but he still figures to see plenty of playing time.
Tue Jan 27 201522:16Hinrich will start at shooting guard Tuesday against Warriors
Hinrich will start at shooting guard Tuesday against the Warriors.
Jimmy Butler is out with an illness, so it will be on Hinrich, along with Aaron Brooks and Nikola Mirotic to take on the extra minutes. Hinrich is a safe but to play significant minutes, but the production will likely be very uninspiring.

Hinrich came off the bench Thursday, scoring just two points in 26 minutes of action. He also added two rebounds and an assist in the contest.
Tony Snell got the start over Hinrich and had a decent performance, posting 12 points and three rebounds. Hinrich's efficiency has been concerning lately, as he's only averaging 5.9 points in 27 minutes over his last 10 games. His value is very low at this point and may remain that way.
Thu Jan 22 201519:41Hinrich will come off bench Thursday against Spurs
Hinrich will come off the bench Thursday against the Spurs, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Coach Tom Thibodeau will instead send out Tony Snell with the starting unit. In 17 games as a reserve this season, Hinrich has averaged a nondescript 5.6 points (on 41 percent shooting), 2.4 assists, 1.8 rebounds, 0.9 three-pointers, and 0.8 steals in 25 minutes.
Sun Jan 18 201512:43Hinrich scored eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt) to go along with t...
Hinrich scored eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt) to go along with three assists and two steals in 30 minutes Saturday against the Hawks.
Hinrich started again in place of Mike Dunleavy (ankle), but scored less than 10 points for the sixth time in his last seven games. He is a great defender who can knock down three-pointers, but his poor overall production leads him with limited fantasy value.
