Hinrich (quad) won't travel with the Bulls during their two-game road trip, which features games Friday against the Celtics and Saturday against the Cavaliers, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Hinrich's absence for the road trip was expected, as coach Fred Hoiberg said Wednesday that Hinrich would likely be sidelined for an addition four or five days due to his bruised left quad. His absence will leave Aaron Brooks and E'Twaun Moore as the lone backups to starting point guard Derrick Rose.
