Will the Bulls be healthy after the break?

One of the lingering issues for the Bulls has been constant bites from the injury bug.

However, it appears the Bulls will be at full strength on Friday night in Detroit:

Kirk Hinrich‘s injury issue is intriguing because of the stellar play from second-year wing Tony Snell in Hinrich’s absence.

"“I’ve had a toe issue for a long time,” Hinrich said. “Just this year, all year, it’s been a little bit worse. Over the last month and a half, it’s been getting pretty bad. I was having trouble moving, hurting out there, hurting during the game, after the game, the next day. Just something I needed to get taken care of.” -Kirk Hinrich on his lingering injury, ESPNChicago.com"

As much as Thibodeau relies and counts on Hinrich to give the Bulls quality minutes in the rotation, pinning Snell back to the bench doesn’t seem like a smart option for a young talent who was starting to find a rhythm and his confidence

Jimmy Butler already announced during the All-Star break that the shoulder pain isn’t going to keep him out of action and he feels fine.
