Hinrich (knee) will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's tilt with the Magic, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Hinrich has missed the last two games due to the hyperextended left knee, but after the guard was able to return to practice Monday and take part in Wednesday's shootaround, coach Tom Thibodeau might be willing to roll him in his lineup. The Bulls will also have Derrick Rose (knee) back from a two-month absence Wednesday to play about 20 minutes, making it likely that Hinrich would see a downgrade in playing time even if he's deemed healthy enough to suit up.
