Hinrich Sits with a Groin Injury

The Bulls were without one of their core players last night, as PG Kirk Hinrich sat out with a groin injury.  Hinrich is hoping to get back on the floor in the next couple of days, but you never can tell with a groin injury, as lateral movement is obviously important in basketball, and an injured groin makes that extremely painful.  It’s also one of those tricky injuries that can linger for an entire season if a player tries to come back too soon, but the Bulls and Hinrich will be careful not to do too much too soon.

In Hinrich’s absence, the Bulls are going with rookie Thabo Sefolosha, as Coach Scott Skiles wants G Ben Gordon to continue to light up the league in his role as the sixth man.  Gordon strikes fear into every opponent, and for some reason, he’s more effective coming off the bench.

The Bulls should be able to get past this minor injury, as they are a deep team, but you can see for yourself with Bulls tickets from StubHub.com.
