Hinrich (ribs) is considered probable for Friday's game, despite already returning from his injury stint Tuesday, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Hinrich was able to play 31 minutes off the bench Tuesday but is apparently dealing with some lingering soreness that poses a small threat of keeping him sidelined against the Celtics on Friday. His status will likely be officially announced after the team concludes morning shootaround.
