12/11/2008 17:12
Chicago Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich had undergone a surgery to repair a torn
ligament in his right thumb, the National Basketball Association team said
yesterday.
Hinrich is expected to miss about three months of the
season.
The sixth-year veteran left Friday's 100-83 victory over the Phoenix
Suns in the third quarter after sustaining the injury.
Hinrich said he was
hurt when he tried to steal the ball from Suns forward Amare
Stoudemire.
Hinrich has spent his entire NBA career with Chicago, averaging
14.3 points and 6.3 assists while missing just 21 games over five-plus
seasons.
