Hinrich (ankle) played 37 minutes as a starter in the overtime win against the Celtics on Saturday. He scored eight points (4-10 FG, 0-6 3Pt) with five rebounds.
Hinrich got all of the minutes his balky hamstring could handle with Jimmy Butler (personal) out. The good news was that he did not miss a shot from within the arc. Butler could be back soon, so there is no need to rush out and add Hinrich.

Hinrich (hamstring) is considered probable for Saturday's game against the Celtics.

Hinrich strained his hamstring in the fourth quarter of Monday's game against the Raptors and is listed as questionable to return.

Hinrich scored just five points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) in a start against the Grizzlies on Friday while filling in for Derrick Rose.
Rose was out with an illness, but Hinrich certainly do much to help fill in the hole. Owners should stay away from Hinrich, even if Rose continues to miss games on a consistent basis. In the six games prior to Friday, Hinrich was shooting just 34.3 percent from the floor and averaged 5.3 points in 28 minutes per game.

Hinrich continued to recover from bruised ribs, playing 27 minutes off the bench Friday against the Celtics, but attempting just one shot for three and making it.
Hinrich is good to go in all formats for owners, but the poor offensive production is concerning. He played some point guard with Derrick Rose limited to 28 minutes, and didn't fill up the box score elsewhere, finishing with just one assist, two steals and three rebounds.
Fri Nov 28 201409:07Hinrich (ribs) considered probable for Friday's game
Hinrich (ribs) is considered probable for Friday's game, despite already returning from his injury stint Tuesday, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Hinrich (ribs) returned to action Tuesday after missing the Bulls' previous two games with bruised ribs. He put up 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt), one rebound, eight assists, and one steal in 31 minutes off the bench.
Hinrich played big minutes because Derrick Rose was forced to leave Tuesday's game with hamstring tightness. In nine starts this season, Hinrich has averaged 11.0 points, 2.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.6 three-pointers in 30 minutes per game. Those numbers are good enough to use as a streaming option in 12-team leagues, but Hinrich simply isn't a prolific per-minute stats producer. Even with Rose sidelined, Hinrich is a borderline fantasy option in standard leagues.
Tue Nov 25 201419:38Hinrich (ribs) available for Tuesday's game
Hinrich (ribs) is available for Tuesday's game, ESPN Chicago's Nick Friedell reports.
Derrick Rose will also play, meaning Hinrich will have to come off the bench, but he should still see 20-plus minutes against the Nuggets.
Tue Nov 25 201418:01Hinrich (ribs) questionable to play Tuesday against Nuggets
Hinrich (ribs) is questionable to play Tuesday against the Nuggets, Nick Friedell of ESPN Chicago reports.
Hinrich missed the previous two games with bruised ribs, but his condition has improved to the point that the team is listing him as questionable, rather than doubtful as was the case in advance of Monday's game. With Derrick Rose set to play his first back-to-back set of the season, Hinrich will likely come off the bench if he's cleared to play.

Hinrich (ribs) has been ruled out for Monday's game in Utah, ESPN Chicago reports.
While Hinrich is out of commission as a result of bruised ribs, there's a growing belief that Derrick Rose (hamstring) will suit up. If Rose avoids a setback in his potential return, Hinrich would be relegated to bunch duty upon his next appearance, whenever that comes to pass.
Sun Nov 23 201418:10Hinrich (ribs) doubtful to play Monday against Jazz
Hinrich (ribs) is doubtful to play Monday against the Jazz, Nick Friedell of ESPN Chicago reports.
Hinrich is dealing with bruised ribs after taking a change on DeMarcus Cousins in Thursday's loss to the Kings. He sat out Friday in Portland and will likely remain out of action against the Jazz. With Derrick Rose (hamstring) perpetually questionable, Aaron Brooks could make another start at point guard.
Fri Nov 21 201421:35Hinrich diagnosed with bruised ribs
Hinrich has been diagnosed with bruised ribs, ESPN Chicago's Nick Friedell reports.
It was originally thought that he had a sore chest after taking a charge from DeMarcus Cousins in Thursday's game, but Hinrich said he suffered the injury earlier in the game after taking a couple hard shots. He will sit out Friday, as he is still in significant pain, saying that it hurst to breathe. Consider him day-to-day, but don't be surprised if he misses further time. Aaron Brooks will get the start at point guard Friday with Derrick Rose also out.
