Hinrich (knee) went through shootaround, and coach Tom Thibodeau said he will play if he goes through pregame warmups without issue, Nick Friedell of ESPN Chicago reports. It looks as though Hinrich will be able to see his first action of the series in Thursday's Game 3 after the injury caused him to miss Games 1 and 2. Assuming he plays, he'll likely cut into Aaron Brooks' minutes as the backup to Derrick Rose.

Hinrich (knee) went through a full practice, KC Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports. Hinrich has not been able to play in either of the first two games of the series, but after putting in a full practice it looks like he's on track to play in Game 3 on Thursday night. His return means Aaron Brooks could see a slight minutes reduction as the backup to Derrick Rose.

Coach Tom Thibodeau is optimistic that Hinrich (knee) could return for Thursday's Game 3, Nick Friedell of ESPN Chicago reports. Hinrich has missed the first two games of the series with a hyperextended left knee, but he continues to improve and could be available off the bench Thursday. Look for a further update following Wednesday's practice.

Hinrich (knee) won't play in Monday's Game 2 matchup against the Bucks, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports. Hinrich has reportedly shown improvement, but not enough to avoid missing the second game of the series. His next chance to return will come Thursday in Game 3.

Hinrich (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Monday's Game 2 against the Bucks, the Chicago Tribune reports. Hinrich was unable to play in Game 1 on Saturday with a hyper-extended left knee and even missed the final three games of the season with the same injury. His status should be updated following Monday's morning shootaround.

Hinrich's (knee) status for Monday's Game 2 against the Bucks remains uncertain, the Chicago Tribune reports. Hinrich missed Game 1 on Saturday as he continues to deal with the aftermath of a hyper-extended left knee. Interestingly enough, Hinrich's minutes were absorbed by Derrick Rose in Game 1 and that could certainly happen yet again Monday if Hinrich is ultimately ruled out.

Hinrich (knee) will not play in Game 1 in Chicago on Saturday, the Chicago Tribune's K.C. Johnson reports. Coach Tom Thibodeau said Hinrich has plateaued in his rehab efforts and that the team is trying to find a way to get him better. Hinrich is questionable for Game 2 and his absence will result in more minutes for Derrick Rose and Aaron Brooks and it will also allow for Tony Snell to be a part of the playoff rotation.

Hinrich (knee) did not practice Friday, Nick Friedell of ESPN Chicago reports. Hinrich has been battling swelling in his knee, and coach Tom Thibodeau said he's unsure whether the veteran will be ready to go Saturday evening against Milwaukee. If Hinrich is held out, Aaron Brooks will likely pick up some extra minutes.

Hinrich (knee) is expected to play in Saturday's opener against the Bucks, the Chicago Tribune reports. Hinrich suffered a hyperextended left knee a week ago and was forced off the court for the final two games of the season as a result. Obviously there's concern moving forward since this is a fresh injury that he's yet to have played on, but his week of rest ahead of Saturday's playoff opener certainly was the best possible remedy. The 34-year-old averaged 24.4 minutes over 66 games this regular season and it would be reasonable to assume that he could see around that same total against the Bucks.

Hinrich (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Hawks, KC Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports. Hinrich will miss a second straight game due to a hyperextended left knee. The Bulls are likely being extra cautious with the veteran as the playoffs near.
