Bulls’ Kirk Hinrich suspended 1 game..

The already thin Chicago Bulls’ backcourt is going to get a bit thinner for one game.
This comes after backup guard Kirk Hinrich’s contact with official Tom Washington at the 4:25 mark in the 4th quarter, which led to his ejection.
Because of Hinrich making contact with an NBA referee, that automatically results in a 1-game suspension which means he’ll be in street clothes on Tuesday when the Bulls visit Memphis.
Chicago is hoping that Derrick Rose (wrist) will be healthy enough to return to the starting lineup, otherwise they’ll have to go with 3rd-string point guard Jannero Pargo as their starter.
The reeling Bulls have lost 7 straight & have not won since February 26th against Portland. They are currently 1.5 games behind Toronto for the Eastern Conference’s 8th & final playoff spot.
