Kirk Hinrich: (Chest) Will Not Play Friday

Hinrich (chest) will not play in Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Hinrich suffered the injury in Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings after taking a charge from DeMarcus Cousins in the fourth quarter. He won't play Friday and should be considered questionable for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. He'll join both Derrick Rose and Pau Gasol as the Bulls' inactives. Aaron Brooks figures to get the start at point guard with both Rose and Hinrich sitting out.
