Kirk Hinrich missed Sunday's Bulls practice with flu-like symptoms. Team officials said the veteran guard would get to the airport to fly on the team charter to Oakland, where the Bulls begin a seven-game trip Monday against Golden State.
It's unknown if Hinrich will play on Monday.
"He was pretty sick," coach Vinny Del Negro said. "He showed up (at Berto) and we sent him home."
If Hinrich can't start, John Salmons would take his place.
