Chicago Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich was added to the USA Basketball roster on Wednesday.

The addition of Hinrich comes one day after Orlando Magic rookie guard J.J. Redick announced he would not be able to participate in tryouts for Team USA due to a back injury.

Redick and forward Adam Morrison, the third overall pick in last month's draft, were the only college players selected to fight for a roster spot on Team USA.

Now Hinrich, who averaged 15.9 points and 6.3 assists in his third season with the Bulls in 2005-06, will get a chance to battle for a roster spot on the team that will participate in August's FIBA World Championships in Japan.

"It's an honor to be invited to represent the United States and play for USA Basketball," Hinrich said.
