Chicago Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich was examined earlier today by Dr. John
Fernandez, and Bulls team physician, Dr. Brian Cole, both of Rush
University Medical Center. The results of that exam confirmed the
earlier MRI which showed a torn ulnar collateral ligament of his right
thumb. The injury will require surgery, which will be performed on
Tuesday, Nov. 11 at Rush.
Hinrich may be out as long as 12 weeks following his surgery. The injury
occurred in the third quarter of last evening's Bulls win over Phoenix.
On the year, Hinrich has appeared in six games and averaged 8.3 ppg, 4.0
apg, 1.8 rpg and 1.33 spg in 24.5 mpg.
In his sixth season with the Bulls, Hinrich has appeared in 389 regular
season games with the Bulls, and missed just 21 games during that span.
Chicago's first round pick (seventh overall) in NBA Draft 2003, he owns
career averages of 14.3 ppg, 6.3 apg, 3.5 rpg, 1.30 spg and 35.0 mpg.
