Gibson scored 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 FT), with 10 rebounds, six blocks and three assists in 31 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Nets.
With Joakim Noah (ankle) out for this one, Gibson stepped up and played through his own injury. He posted a big stat line that included the double-double, as well as the impressive six blocks. When Gibson gets the minutes, he has the potential to make a major impact.
Tue Dec 9 201415:56Gibson (ankle) expected to play Wednesday against Nets
Gibson (ankle) is expected to play Wednesday against the Nets, Nick Friedell of ESPN Chicago reports.
Gibson returned Saturday after a six-game absence to score 12 points and grab seven boards in 19 minutes. The "probable" designation is likely more of a formality that anything else, and Gibson should be expected to play, barring a setback in shootaround Wednesday. He's in position to see major minutes, too, with Joakim Noah (ankle) already ruled out.

Gibson (ankle) scored 12 points (3-7 FG, 6-6 FT) and grabbed seven rebounds in 19 minutes in the loss to the Warriors on Saturday.
Gibson missed six games with the injury and did not play his full complement of minutes against the Warriors. He should ramp up in minutes and be playable in most fantasy leagues by next week.

Gibson (ankle) will be available for Saturday's game against the warriors, the Chicago Tribune reports.
With Joakim Noah also good to go, the Bulls should be near full health as they take on the Warriors. There's a chance Gibson could see limited minutes, as the Bulls want to make sure this nagging injury doesn't pop up again.

Gibson (ankle) went through shootaround and the Bulls are hopeful he will be able to play Saturday, ESPN Chicago's Nick Friedell reports.
He is a game-time decision, but things are trending in the right direction. There is a chance the Bulls could be at full health Saturday, which would mean Gibson would re-assume his sixth man role.

Gibson (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Gibson managed to participate in Friday's practice but the Bulls may still be cautious with playing the veteran Saturday. News of Gibson's availability will likely come shortly after Saturday's morning shootaround.

Gibson (ankle) was a full participant at Friday's practice and seems to be on track to return Saturday against the Warriors, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Gibson has been sidelined for Chicago's past six games but seems to be in line to make a return Saturday. He's averaging 29 minutes over 12 games this season, although he might be held back during his eventual return from injury.
Tue Dec 2 201412:20Gibson (ankle) will not play Tuesday and unlikely to take court ...
Gibson (ankle) will not play Tuesday and is unlikely to take the court Wednesday, as well, Nick Friedell of ESPN Chicago reports.
Tuesday's game will be Gibson's fifth straight absence as he continues to recover from a left ankle injury. If he does sit out Wednesday, as anticipated, his next chance to return will come Saturday when the Bulls play host to Golden State. Nikola Mirotic has seen a solid bump in minutes, as well as production, in Gibson's absence, and the rookie is averaging 12.6 points and 8.6 rebounds over his last five contests.
Mon Dec 1 201418:07Gibson (ankle) will not play Tuesday against Mavericks
Gibson (ankle) will not play Tuesday against the Mavericks, Nick Friedell of ESPN Chicago reports.
Gibson is still nursing a left ankle injury that has already robbed him of four contests. He's without a firm timetable, and the fact that he's been ruled out more than 24 hours before Tuesday's tip isn't exactly encouraging. Nevertheless, consider the forward questionable for Wednesday's contest until the team says otherwise.
Sun Nov 30 201422:08Gibson (ankle) feeling better
Gibson (ankle) is feeling better, but there is still no timetable for his return, ESPN Chicago reports.
The Bulls are taking a cautious approach with Gibson, so don't expect him to come back until he is completely healthy. He will return to being their main frontcourt option off of the bench when he is ready to play again.
Sat Nov 29 201416:21Gibson (ankle) ruled out for Sunday's game against Nets
Gibson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nets, the Chicago Tribune reports.
The cortisone shot Gibson received earlier in the week seems to be doing the trick, as he said Friday that the swelling in his ankle has gone down and he has experienced little pain since, though he added that he didn't know when he'll return. Tuesday against Dallas is now the best-case scenario.
Fri Nov 28 201413:52Gibson (ankle) received cortisone shot and saw reduced swelling
Gibson (ankle) received a cortisone shot and saw reduced swelling, although he's still without a definite timetable for a return, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Gibson was unable to play Friday as he continues to deal with his nagging ankle injury. Considering that he isn't with the team on their current road trip, it's unlikely that he'll return to the court until Tuesday against the Mavericks at the earliest.
Fri Nov 28 201408:44Gibson (ankle) will not play against Celtics on Friday
Gibson (ankle) will not play against the Celtics on Friday, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Gibson was sent home from Chicago's current road trip and won't likely have a legitimate chance to return until the Bulls play at home against the Mavericks on Tuesday. If that ultimately comes to fruition, it means that he'll be sidelined for the Bulls' next two games, including Friday against the Celtics.

Gibson has been sent home from the Bulls' road trip to get his injured ankle examined, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Sending Gibson home during a road trip would imply that he will not play in the Bulls upcoming games Monday in Utah or Tuesday in Denver. The team has another two game road trip on the east coast after those two games, where Gibson could theoretically rejoin the team. If Gibson and teammate Pau Gasol (calf) cannot play, look for Nikola Mirotic to play big minutes and have fantasy value.
Sat Nov 22 201400:34Taj Gibson: Leaves With Sprained Ankle
Gibson (ankle) suffered a left ankle sprain and will not return to Friday's game.
It looked to be a pretty severe sprain, as Gibson could not leave the court under his own power. Consider him day-to-day for now, but he will likely miss at least a few games. With Pau Gasol (calf) also ailing, Nikola Mirotic may finally start to see the kind of significant frontcourt minutes his skills would typically dictate, making him an intriguing add in the short term.
Sat Nov 22 201400:14Taj Gibson: Leaves With Ankle Injury
Gibson left Friday's game with an apparent left ankle injury, the Chicago Tribune's K.C. Johnson reports.
Gibson needed to be carried off the court by his teammates, and went to the locker room without putting any weight on his injured ankle. It had the look of a serious injury, possibly an Achilles, as he was in significant pain without any signs of rolling his ankle. Further updates will be provided when more news is available.

Gibson got the start at power forward Monday, scoring 20 points (9-13 FG, 2-4 FT) with six assists, five rebounds, two blocks and a steal in 41 minutes during a win over the Clippers.
He took full advantage of Pau Gasol's absence from the lineup due to a calf injury. Gasol may miss Tuesday's game as well, which should make Gibson a solid play once again in daily leagues.
Sun Nov 16 201410:43Gibson scored two points (1-6 FG) to go along with six rebounds ...
Gibson scored two points (1-6 FG) to go along with six rebounds and two steals in 25 minutes Saturday against the Pacers.
The Bulls frontcourt was largely overpowered Saturday, so none of them really had a big game. Gibson has scored eight points or less in three of his last four games, but he does have at least six rebounds in each of his last three games. Patience is key for Gibson's fantasy owners because if Joakim Noah or Pau Gasol were to suffer any type of injury, Gibson would be a key contributor.

Gibson scored 23 points (9-17 FG, 5-9 FT), with 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 44 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Bucks.
Gibson looked impressive stepping in to fill the hole left with Joakim Noah (illness) inactive again. He's proven to be a double-double waiting to happen if he gets the minutes, and helped lead the Bulls to the win. When Noah returns, though, Gibson will head back to the bench and see his minutes reduced.
Wed Nov 5 201414:39Gibson considered probable for Wednesday's game against Bucks
Gibson is considered probable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks, Marc Spears of Yahoo! reports.
Gibson is nursing an ankle injury but was able to play 32 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Magic. Barring a setback, all signs point to him playing against Milwaukee, and he should see big minutes with Joakim Noah (illness) doubtful.
