Hinrich has been diagnosed with bruised ribs, ESPN Chicago's Nick Friedell reports.
Analysis:
It was originally thought that he had a sore chest after taking a charge from DeMarcus Cousins in Thursday's game, but Hinrich said he suffered the injury earlier in the game after taking a couple hard shots. He will sit out Friday, as he is still in significant pain, saying that it hurst to breathe. Consider him day-to-day, but don't be surprised if he misses further time. Aaron Brooks will get the start at point guard Friday with Derrick Rose also out.
