Hinrich (illness) will return to the lineup Wednesday against the Hornets, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Hinrich has missed the last two games, but he put in a full practice Tuesday and will be available against Charlotte. With Derrick Rose (knee) out for the foreseeable future, Hinrich should pick up some extra minutes, and he could enter the starting lineup in place of Rose. Unless Chicago makes a move to bring in another point guard, Hinrich and Aaron Brooks will split the duties.
