Hinrich has a torn ligament in his right thumb, and will be subject to surjery.

I’ll be honest and say that I have been a big Kirk Hinrich fan in all his years here as a Chicago Bull.  He works hard, is unselfish, and plays with integrity.  However, I’ll also be the first to admit that I don’t foresee Hinrich’s injury making a major impact on the Bulls.  Our best point guard will still be there to lead us, and a better scorer in Gordon will start to fill the gap.  Basically the most significant downside is lack of resting time for D. Rose.  With Larry Hughes back soon, this injury could give the plethora of guards some extra playing time as well.
