Hinrich Injury - MRI on calf (p.12 update- Likely out Thurs)

[MGB8]

Derrick Rose just needs to be assured that he doesn't need to come in and be "Derrick Rose." He needs to come in and be a rusty player who is better than a rookie Marquis Teague.

If Thibs can come out and announce that - set the expectations appropriately - that will give Rose cover the mental stuff that I am sure is going on in his head - that he's still not the same player that he was before the injury. That can only come with more time.

But people should remember that Jordan missed the playoffs during a run early in his career, too, due to injury (where he concievably could have played).

Kirk is getting another MRI on his leg tomorrow when the team is back in Chicago. He's still day-to-day in terms of playing in this series
