Hinrich (ribs) is questionable to play Tuesday against the Nuggets, Nick Friedell of ESPN Chicago reports.

Analysis:

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.
