The Bulls signed Mike James to a 10-day contract to help fill out their point guard depth while Hinrich rehabs the injury. D.J. Augustin was the only healthy point guard on the roster before the signing. Augustin has played well since the team signed him after clearing waivers in December, averaging 12.3 points and 6.1 assists per game since joining the team.
