Chicago Bulls forward Taj Gibson is the team's latest injury. - ESPN Chicago



CLEVELAND -- Chicago Bulls forward Taj Gibson injured his left ankle during the Friday night's 114-75 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. He left Quicken Loans Arena wearing a walking boot.

Gibson did not sound optimistic about playing on Saturday night against the Charlotte Bobcats.

"The [training staff] said if anybody asks, just come back and talk to them about [the injury]," he said.

When asked if he was day-to-day, Gibson responded, "I don't know, we'll have to see."

Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau said both Gibson and backup point guard John Lucas III, who sustained a left groin injury, would be re-evaluated on Saturday.

"Day to day," Thibodeau said. "They're nicked up a little bit, but they'll be fine ... [athletic trainer] Fred [Tedeschi] will have a better read on it [Saturday]."

These latest injury woes come on top of the fact that Bulls point guard Derrick Rose missed his third straight game because of a toe injury. He did not speak to reporters after the game.

Lucas, meanwhile, said after the game he would be fine.

Bulls center Joakim Noah tweaked an ankle injury, but he said he would be ready to play on Saturday night as well.

It's all part of the compact season. All we can do is hope we can continue this level of play regardless of who's on the floor for us.

I'm guessing that Chris Richards is on call.

What's ironic is that the guy with the rep for being injured a lot (boozer) has played in every game so far this year

Add Deng to the list of walking wounded. He sprained his wrist during the game. X-rays negative, listed day-to-day.

I'm fine with resting guys a little more than usual to make sure their ready to go for the playoffs, We got a pretty special team here. It would be a shame to fall short because we didn't have our full squad.
