Veteran guard Hunter signs with Bulls

? The injury-depleted Chicago Bulls have signed veteran point guard Lindsey Hunter.

With a Bulls’ backcourt thinned by injuries, the 37-year-old Hunter brings 15 years of experience to the team. He played 24 games for Detroit last season.

Guard Kirk Hinrich could be out for three months after thumb surgery, and Larry Hughes hasn’t played this season because of a preseason shoulder injury.
