Newsbreakers
October 19, 2009
Kirk Hinrich was very effective shooting the ball on Monday in the Bulls' 101-98 loss to the Magic. Hinrich finished 8-of-12 from the field for 18 points.

Our View:Hinrich was 2-for-4 from beyond the arc, and he also contrbuted four rebounds and three assists. He has been performing well since coming back from a hamstring injury, and he looks ready for the regular season.
October 10, 2009
Kirk Hinrich performed well in Saturday's 98-86 loss to the Bucks, as he scored 13 points over 22 minutes. He also recorded two rebounds, two assists and a steal.

Our View:Hinrich looks to be recovered from his hamstring ailment, evidenced by his solid performance.
October 2, 2009
Kirk Hinrich is likely to miss tonight's preseason opener against the Pacers, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Our View:Hinrich is recovering from a sore hamstring. The Bulls did not speculate when he may return to the court.
July 9, 2009
The Blazers are reportedly working on a trade to land Kirk Hinrich of the Bulls, according to OregonLive.com.

Our View:Portland is looking at a three-team deal that involves Chicago and Utah. There is speculation that Carlos Boozer could be shipped to Chicago with Tyrus Thomas going to Utah and Hinrich heading to Portland. The deal is far from complete, and the teams are considering several trade scenarios.
June 24, 2009
According to the Oregonian, Kirk Hinrich has reportedly told friends of his that he feels he'll be dealt to the Blazers in the near future.

Our View:The Bulls already have Derrick Rose, so Hinrich is expendable. Plus he would be a nice upgrade at point guard for Portland.
April 8, 2009
Kirk Hinrich scored 25 points, dished out two assists, and recorded three steals off the bench Tuesday to lead the Bulls to a 110-103 win over the Knicks at United Center.

Our View:Hinrich's tender left ankle seemed to be an issue during a seven-point performance against the Nets on Saturday, but he showed no ill affects tonight. He played a healthy 34 minutes and showed fluidity in running up and down the floor.
April 2, 2009
Kirk Hinrich missed today's practice while nursing his sprained left ankle, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Our View:The Bulls do not play again until Saturday at home against the Nets, giving Hinrich some time to heal.
March 31, 2009
Kirk Hinrich scored 20 points, snagged seven rebounds and totaled seven assists in the Bulls 107-105 loss to the Pacers Tuesday.

Our View:Hinrich shined while filling in for Derrick Rose before and picked up where he left off Tuesday while starting in place of John Salmons.
March 24, 2009
Guard Kirk Hinrich started in place of Derrick Rose (wrist) on Tuesday, and he finished with 24 points and eight assists against the Pistons. He also chipped in three rebounds, three steals, and one block.

Our View:That's only the second time all season that Hinrich has surpassed the 20-point mark. He should continue to get a lot of minutes and shots as long as Rose is out.
March 23, 2009
Guard Kirk Hinrich made five of his 14 attempts from the field Monday night. He finished Chicago's 101-99 win over Washington with 12 points and two assists.

Our View:Hinrich is a solid player who could possibly average 15 points per game as a starter for another team, but he averages 25 minutes a game while backing up Ben Gordon and Derrick Rose. That being said, he's still owned in 60 percent of leagues, so he's obviously worth something in deeper leagues.
March 9, 2009
Kirk Hinrich is questionable for tonight's outing with Miami while nursing a bruised right quadriceps muscle, according to the Sports Network.

Our View:Hinrich believes he will be able to play, but his status will be determined after the morning shootaround.
March 8, 2009
Kirk Hinrich sat out Sunday's practice while nursing a bruised right quadriceps muscle, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Our View:Hinrich believes he will be able to play Monday against the Heat, but coach Vinny Del Negro is not as sure. His status will be decided after tomorrow's morning shootaround.
February 18, 2009
It took Kirk Hinrich only 33 minutes Wednesday to score a season-high 31 points in Chicago's 113-104 win over Milwaukee.

Our View:Playing more than 30 minutes in a game for the first time in nearly a month, Hinrich shot 8-of-14 from the floor, including 5-of-8 from beyond the arc.
February 18, 2009
Kirk Hinrich could be headed to Minnesota in exchange for Jason Collins and an undetermined player, according to the Chicago Daily Herald.

Our View:This move would primarily be made by the Bulls so they can acquire Collins' contract, which expires after this season. Hinrich's impact has been limited since he returned from a thumb injury in mid-January and his fantasy stock has plummeted in recent days.
January 25, 2009
Kirk Hinrich really struggled with his shot on Sunday, missing all seven of his field goal attempts and only finished with one point. He did have two assists and one steal in his 23 minutes off the bench.

Our View:Hinrich scored in the teens in his last three games, upping his fantasy stock but he could start showing up all over fantasy league waiver wires if he keeps playing like this.
January 24, 2009
Kirk Hinrich went 6-of-11 from the field Friday night and finished the Bulls' 114-94 loss to the Raptors with 17 points, seven assists, and five rebounds.

Our View:In seven games since returning from a lengthy stay on the bench that involved thumb surgery, Hinrich has averaged 10.7 points in part-time duty.
January 12, 2009
Updating an earlier report, Kirk Hinrich is slated to return Monday night against the Blazers as opposed to Thursday, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Our View:Hinrich's playing time will likely be low in his first game back from a thumb injury, so he's probably not worth starting in fantasy.
January 12, 2009
Kirk Hinrich is aiming to return to the court Thursday against the Cavaliers following his recovery from a torn right thumb ligament, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Our View:If not ready for Thursday, he hopes to return Saturday against San Antonio. He would be fighting for minutes in a crowded Bulls' backcourt, but the club would get a much-needed boost on defense upon his return.
January 7, 2009
Kirk Hinrich (thumb) participated in the non-conduct portion of the Bulls' practice on Wednesday, according to the Chicago Tribune. He is still a week or two away from physically testing his thumb.

Our View:Hinrich is probably a month away from returning and once he does, it will likely create a ripple effect in the Bulls backcourt rotation.
January 5, 2009
Guard Kirk Hinrich told the Chicago Tribune he is progressing from a right thumb injury and plans to practice later this week.

Our View:Hinrich underwent surgery on his thumb after tearing a ligament on Nov. 7.
