BRIEF: Kirk Hinrich to miss regular-season finale; Joakim Noah doubtful

April 15--Kirk Hinrich will miss the Bulls' regular-season finale Wednesday with his hyperextended left knee and Joakim Noah is doubtful with what the team called left hamstring tendinitis.

In postgame comments on Monday in New York, Derrick Rose said Noah sat to rest his surgically repaired left knee.

Either way, the injury isn't expected to affect Noah's status for Game 1 of the NBA playoffs.

"He was real good in the shoot-around (Monday) morning," coach Tom Thibodeau said. "It's just some tendinitis. This time of the year, when something flares up like that, we're going to play it safe."

The Bulls are vying for the East's third seed.
