Hinrich struggles with shot in return

Kirk Hinrich returned to action Wednesday after missing Monday’s game with a stomach virus, but he certainly wasn’t all the way back.

In the Bulls’ 104-97 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, Hinrich had nine points in 36 minutes, going 3-for-14 from the field, including 0-for-7 from three-point range.

“I knew it was gonna be a little bit tough because I probably didn’t have the calories and the stuff I needed from just all the vomiting,” Hinrich said.

“I don’t think it affected me too much. My legs felt wobbly at times and I felt I wasn’t as sharp as I needed to be.”
