Gibson (ankle) is expected to play Wednesday against the Nets, Nick Friedell of ESPN Chicago reports.

Analysis:

Gibson returned Saturday after a six-game absence to score 12 points and grab seven boards in 19 minutes. The "probable" designation is likely more of a formality that anything else, and Gibson should be expected to play, barring a setback in shootaround Wednesday. He's in position to see major minutes, too, with Joakim Noah (ankle) already ruled out.
