Gibson (ribs) is considered doubtful for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

Gibson has missed the last six games with a lingering rib injury and is expected to sit out again on Monday. Nikola Mirotic has been starting at power forward in his place and should get the call again Monday, while both Bobby Portis and Cristiano Felicio will likely continue to see increased minutes as well. We should see Gibson's status updated again following the team's morning shootaround Monday.
