Gibson has been sent home from the Bulls' road trip to get his injured ankle examined, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

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.
