Description: Sources say that Bulls forward Taj Gibson won't be suspended for Game 3 for failing to leave the court in a timely manner in Game 2, according to Chris Tomasson of FOX Sports Florida.
Insight: Gibson was ejected from Game 2 after picking up two technicals. He might still be fined, but he'll be on the court Friday in all likelihood when the series shifts back to Chicago.

Description: It's possible that Bulls forward Taj Gibson could be suspended for Friday night's Game 3 against Miami. SOURCE: Chicago Tribune
Insight: The general consensus is that the refs overreacted to some of the physical play on Wednesday night. Even so, Gibson may have crossed the line during a heated confrontation with referee Scott Foster in the fourth quarter. A decision on any discipline for Gibson will probably be decided later today.
 
5/8/2013 9:35:00 PM

4/15/2013 6:29:00 PM
Description: Bulls power forward Taj Gibson will be in action Monday versus Orlando, though ESPN Chicago suspects that he'll be on a minutes limit. He's been out with a knee injury since April 2nd.
Insight: Gibson only averages 22 mpg so his ceiling isn't all that high to begin with. With so much of the league on hiatus right now, he could be worth a look in deeper formats.

4/3/2013 7:48:00 PM
Description: Bulls big man Taj Gibson aggravated a previous left knee sprain Tuesday night, but K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune says it doesn't sound as serious as the first injury that knocked him out for 10 games.
Insight: The Bulls can ill afford to lose Gibson with Joakim Noah (plantar fasciitis) on the sidelines. Gibson hasn't produced big-time fantasy numbers with Noah out but he is important to Chicago's defensive consistency.

3/27/2013 11:34:00 AM
Description: Chicago Bulls backup power forward Taj Gibson is probable for Wednesday's game against Miami. He banged his knee on Sunday and was limping for a little bit.
Insight: Gibson's (7.9 ppg, 5.45rpg, 1.4 bpg) has played at least 25 minutes in each of the three games since he returned from a sprained MCL, but it hasn't seemed to hurt starter Carlos Boozer's fantasy production.
 
3/20/2013 9:38:00 AM
Description: Chicago Bulls backup power forward Taj Gibson took part in Monday's shootaround and is aiming to return on Thursday.
Insight: Gibson's (7.7 ppg, 5.4 rpg, 1.4 bpg) return will put a dent in Carlos Boozer's fantasy production. Boozer has been averaging around 33 minutes per game in Gibson's absence.
 
3/18/2013 7:39:00 PM
Description: The Bulls will be without power forward Taj Gibson Monday against Denver. He's still recovering from a sprained MCL.
Insight: Gibson (7.7 ppg, 5.4 rpg, 1.4 bpg) didn't practice on Sunday so we figured he'd be a long shot to play tonight. Carlos Boozer is averaging 32.9 minutes per game in Gibson's absence.

3/6/2013 2:55:00 PM
Description: Chicago Bulls PF/C Taj Gibson is expected to miss about one more week (sprained left MCL).

2/26/2013 10:55:00 AM
Description: Chicago Bulls PF/C Taj Gibson is expected to miss two weeks after spraining his left MCL on Sunday against Oklahoma City.
Insight: This injury should be a bonus for Carlos Boozer who was sharing playing time at power forward. Expect most of Gibson's 22 minutes per game to go to Boozer who should post big numbers for the next couple of weeks.
 
2/25/2013 10:02:00 AM
Description: Chicago Bulls PF/C Taj Gibson is doubtful for Tuesday's game against Cleveland after spraining his left knee on Sunday against Oklahoma City.
Insight: Gibson was having an ugly shooting game (2-for-11) and didn't return, but the Bulls were 30 points behind so there would have been no need to push him back on the floor.
 
Hot2/5/2013 9:59:00 AM
Description: Chicago Bulls PF/C Taj Gibson has been the beneficiary of injuries to Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer and has played an average of 43 mpg over the past four games.
Insight: The fourth-year player is averaging 14.8 ppg and 12.0 rpg over the last four games and is a viable fantasy starter as long as one of the Bulls two big men is sidelined.
 
2/3/2013 9:13:00 AM
Description: Bulls power forward Taj Gibson grabbed a season-best 19 rebounds Saturday in a victory over the Hawks.
Insight: Gibson also netted 19 points on 9-of-14 shooting from the field. His ownership has soared to 6.4 percent in ESPN leagues after being owned in just 1.2 percent earlier in the week. That's a direct result of Joakim Noah's recent foot injury. Noah is still without a timetable for his return.
