Rose, Gasol and Hinrich out. Overuse of Hinrich due to Rose injury leads to Hinrich dealing with nagging injuries now probably for a while and more heavy minutes for Jimmy Butler. Get ready Dougie McBuckets. The team actually needs you.
K.C. Johnson @KCJHoop Thibodeau said Moore and Butler are backup PGs. K.C. Johnson @KCJHoop Hinrich said injury occurred before he took charge from Cousins. Bruised ribs. Hurts to take deep breaths. K.C. Johnson @KCJHoop Rose declined to talk about being in same building where he tore meniscus a year ago Saturday.
Sam Smith @SamSmithHoops More Kirk on rib: "I never really thought it was broken. Just took a really good shot and having trouble with any type of movement really."
