Kirk Hinrich out vs. Hornets with toe injury

Hinrich (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Hornets, KC Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Hinrich has played in only one of the Bulls' four games this season, logging five minutes against the Nets on Wednesday. While he's been bothered by the toe issue, he was likely to see a reduced role regardless, as Chicago appears to be comfortable with E'Twaun Moore and Aaron Brooks backing up Derrick Rose.
