The Bulls return home Friday night for their first home game of the preseason, and they'll be a familiar face on the opposing team as Kirk Hinrich, now of the Washington Wizards, faces his former team for the first time since being traded back in June.

"Kirky, it's going to be strange going against him," Bulls point guard Derrick Rose said. "He was a guy when I first came in put me under his wing, showed me a lot of things and was a good vet to me. For me to go against him, it's gonna be kind of weird, but it's the NBA."
