Kirk Hinrich - G - Atlanta Hawks
April 30, 2011 - 10:50 AM ET
Kirk Hinrich is doubtful to play at all in the semifinals vs. the Bulls, after suffering a "significant strain" in his right hamstring.
This is a devastating blow to the Hawks' chances of upsetting the Bulls. Candidates to replace Hinrich in the starting lineup include Jamal Crawford and Jeff Teague, neither of whom can match Hinrich's playmaking or tough defense. Head coach Larry Drew also said that Joe Johnson and Damien Wilkins may get some minutes defending Derrick Rose.
