The Chicago Bulls will be without Derrick Rose against the Phoenix Suns, but the team did receive some good news on Tuesday.
Rip Hamilton slated to start tonight #PHXvsCHI
— Chicago Bulls (@chicagobulls) January 18, 2012
It will be Hamilton's first game action since Jan. 4 and just his second appearance in January; he missed eight straight games prior to Tuesday with a nagging groin injury. His return is more important with Rose out of the mix, as the Bulls could really use a scoring boost from the guard position.
