Gibson isn't expected to require an MRI on the ankle he injured in Friday's victory over the Timberwolves, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Coach Tom Thibodeau relayed that the team's medical staff would wait and see how Gibson's ankle responds to treatment Saturday before determining his availability for Sunday's tilt with the Clippers. Gibson aggravated the same ankle that's dogged him throughout the season, but it has yet to result in a significant in productivity when he's been able to suit up. Aside from a two-point drop in his scoring average, Gibson is holding fairly steady with his numbers from 2013-14 in just about every statistical category.
