CHICAGO -- Chicago guard Kirk Hinrich missed the Bulls' game
against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night because of a
groin injury.
Hinrich, averaging 14.5 points and 5.8 assists, left late in the
third quarter of Friday's 107-97 victory at Toronto after he
aggravated a condition that had been nagging him for a week when he
tried to stop T.J. Ford's penetration.
"It was something that bothered me about a week ago," Hinrich
said. "It felt like something real minor, but it had been feeling
good. Then, I [strained] it."
Hinrich hopes to play Tuesday when the Bulls host Phoenix.
