WASHINGTON -- Chicago Bulls point guard Kirk Hinrich will not play Tuesday night against the Washington Wizards because of a strained left hamstring injury sustained in the second half of Monday night's win over the Toronto Raptors. Hinrich did not travel with the Bulls to Washington and his status for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers is in doubt as well.

"It's tendinitis," Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau said before the game. "We'll see once we get back. Probably a couple days, but I'm not sure yet. We'll see when we get back."

Hinrich missed two games earlier this season because of bruised ribs. With Hinrich out, Bulls backup point guard Aaron Brooks is expected to get the bulk of Hinrich's minutes off the bench.

In other injury-related news, Doug McDermott (arthroscopic right knee surgery) took some shots before Tuesday's game. He is still expected to miss a couple more weeks after surgery on Dec. 13.
