Kirk Hinrich left the Bulls' game against the Raptors with 2 minutes 23 seconds left in the third quarter Wednesday night because of a bruised left thigh. Hinrich suffered the injury when he collided with Pape Sow's knee in the Bulls' 104-88 victory.

"If we absolutely needed him, I would have brought him back, but there was no reason to," coach Scott Skiles said.

Hinrich also has tendinitis in his right shoulder, but he said the nagging injury wasn't to blame for his 1-for-7 shooting.

"It doesn't affect my shot," he said. "It's really not a factor at all."
