Gibson (ankle) will not play Tuesday against the Mavericks, Nick Friedell of ESPN Chicago reports.

Analysis:

Gibson is still nursing a left ankle injury that has already robbed him of four contests. He's without a firm timetable, and the fact that he's been ruled out more than 24 hours before Tuesday's tip isn't exactly encouraging. Nevertheless, consider the forward questionable for Wednesday's contest until the team says otherwise.
