Hinrich (back) took contract during Monday's practice, and if he avoids a setback, he's expected to suit up Wednesday at Brooklyn, CSN Chicago reports.

Hinrich has been out five games due to an injured back, but after fitting in an active practice, he seems poised to take over point guard duties from D.J. Augustin and Marquis Teague, who have been doing so with Derrick Rose (knee) out for the season.
