Hinrich (knee) will take the floor Thursday in Miami, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Hinrich's hyperextended left knee resulted in back-to-back absences, but in his return Wednesday, he managed to put up five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two assists, and one rebound in 15 minutes. Because Derrick Rose (knee) will be capped at 20 minutes and Aaron Brooks is healthy, Hinrich can't expect to garner much, if any, more work than he received Wednesday.
