Ben Wallace will not play Thursday when the Bulls host Miami due to a death in his family. Look for Joakim Noah to start in place of Wallace. Head coach Jim Boylan said he likely will bring Kirk Hinrich off the bench for a second consecutive game. Ben Gordon (sprained wrist) and Luol Deng (Achilles tendinitis) remain out of the lineup. Thabo Sefolosha (groin) did not practice but is expected to start against the Heat.
