| October 23, 2008 With Larry Hughes being injured, the Bulls are likely going to start Kirk Hinrich at shooting guard next to Derrick Rose, according to the Chicago Tribune.

| May 28, 2008 The Chicago Bulls may be trying to move Kirk Hinrich this summer, and it may be possible despite a contract that still includes four years and $37.5 million. "There is a need for good point guards and I think a lot of people think Hinrich just needs a change of scenery," one GM informs ESPN.com. "I think the Bulls won't have a hard time moving him." |

| February 28, 2008 Larry Hughes came off the bench to lead the Bulls with a game high 29 points, notes the Chicago Tribune. But it wasn't the total points he accrued, it was the fact he replace a benched Kirk Hinrich in the process. ''I said there's competition out here,'' Boylan said when asked about the benching afterward. ''Bring your 'A' game or come down here and sit next to me. That's the way that went tonight.'' After playing 15½ minutes in the first half, coach Boylan substituted Hughes for Hinrich 56 seconds into the second half. Hinrich never returned. |
| February 20, 2008 Kirk Hinrich returned to the starting lineup Wednesday, totaling 11 points (on 4-of-14 shooting) and six assists.

The Bulls fired Scott Skiles on Dec. 24. Three days later, Jim Boylan was named interim head coach for the rest of the season. Brown, a former Sixers coach for six years, has been out of coaching since the 2005-06 season, when he went 23-59 with the New York Knicks. |
| February 9, 2008 Kirk Hinrich will miss the Bulls game on Saturday night versus the Jazz because of his injured ribs. Hinrich is leading the Bulls with 6.1 assists per game, but he has struggled with his shot most of the season resulting in a career low 31.1% from behind the arc and a 3-year low from the field overall (40.8%).

| February 6, 2008 Kirk Hinrich got some good news Tuesday regarding his rib injury. "All the tests that they performed [Monday] night were negative," coach Jim Boylan said in the Chicago Sun-Times. "There was no other damage other than getting hit on the bottom [left] side of his rib cage. Right now, it's a day-to-day thing. We'll see how comfortable he is [today], whether he's sore or feeling pain, and that will be the deciding factor of if he can go." Hinrich will be a game-time decision tonight. |
| February 5, 2008 Kirk Hinrich will be a game-time call Wednesday evening, according to the Chicago Tribune. He bruised his ribs during Monday's contest and stayed in Portland for treatment.

| February 5, 2008 Kirk Hinrich had to exit Monday's game with bruised ribs, and he didn't accompany the team to Portland immediately after the game. "He's going to stay behind here in Seattle and they're going to do a couple of tests," coach Jim Boylan said in the Chicago Sun-Times. "I don't know the extent of the injury but I think they're being cautious and make sure it's nothing more serious. If there is something internally wrong, it can be uncomfortable." |
