Washington’s Kirk Hinrich to have MRI on elbow

? Washington Wizards guard Kirk Hinrich sat out Saturday night’s game against Boston and will have an MRI on his sprained right elbow. Hinrich hyperextended the elbow in the fourth quarter of Friday’s loss to Phoenix.

Coach Flip Saunders said the team will wait a day or two for the swelling to go down before Hinrich has the MRI, making it unlikely the veteran will play in Monday’s game at New York.

“We’re more concerned about ligaments in the elbow,” Saunders said, “because of how it was hyperextended.”
