Tyrone

Hill

The Bulls are well stocked with wing players, but could use a veteran inside presence. Hill is currently hoping a team that hasn’t used its mid-level exception comes calling, but the Bulls will only land him if he will accept the veteran’s minimum.

The injury was the result of an illegal screen by Jahidi White. Hill appears to be day-to-day.

If the Knicks buy out Harrington’s contract, the Bulls can offer the veteran’s minimum of $876,179. If New York waives him, the Bulls would wait until he clears waivers to offer him a deal. Hill is hoping for more than the veteran’s minimum, but the longer he remains unsigned, the better the chances for the Bulls.

Before he resigned, Pat Riley had mentioned adding a rebounder like Tyrone Hill or Jason Caffey, so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Heat make such a move.

On the Heat’s short list is Josh Powell, cut by the Mavericks on Oct. 20, and veteran power forward Tyrone Hill.

Hill is holding out for something more than a 10-day contract.

Consider him day-to-day.

An MRI taken Monday revealed a right gastrocnemius tear that will not require surgery. Brian Skinner will get more playing time with Hill out.

Consider Hill day-to-day.

Hill is already off crutches, but he is wearing a protective boot on his right foot.
