Analysis:

With the Bulls having been eliminated from the playoffs, Gibson will have plenty of time to recover from the injury and prepare for offseason workouts and training camp. He had an excellent year off of the bench in 2013-14, and is likely to be the starting power forward for the Bulls next season.
