Hinrich is expected to get the start Wednesday against Phoenix, KC Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

With Derrick Rose (ankle) considered "extremely doubtful" for Wednesday's contest, coach Fred Hoiberg indicated at shootaround that Hinrich will likely step into the starting five in Rose's place. The veteran Hinrich missed seven of Chicago's first eight games while battling a toe injury, and he's played only 27 total minutes on the season.
