Hinrich (knee) will not play in Game 1 in Chicago on Saturday, the Chicago Tribune's K.C. Johnson reports.

Analysis:

Coach Tom Thibodeau said Hinrich has plateaued in his rehab efforts and that the team is trying to find a way to get him better. Hinrich is questionable for Game 2 and his absence will result in more minutes for Derrick Rose and Aaron Brooks and it will also allow for Tony Snell to be a part of the playoff rotation.
