Chicago Bulls shooting guard Rip Hamilton may miss Friday night's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, according to the Chicago Tribune's K.C. Johnson. Hamilton aggravated his groin injury and also suffered a thigh bruise in the Bulls' loss on Wednesday night to the Indiana Pacers. Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau called Hamilton a game-time decision.
If Hamilton does indeed sit out, rookie Jimmy Butler will take his place and make his first career start. Butler got his first meaningful minutes in the Pacers game, and the rookie was noticeably jittery, committing a turnover on his first possession of the game.
UPDATE: Rip is officially out, but it is Kyle Korver who will get the start, not Butler.
In other injury news, reserve forward Taj Gibson is set to return from a high ankle sprain. Gibson will play against the Bucks provided there are no setbacks in pregame warmups.
