Gasol suffered a mild ankle sprain in Saturday's loss to the Magic, but practiced Sunday and will play Monday against the Hawks, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Gasol has recently been struggling with a nagging knee injury, so the fact that he's now nursing a new ailment doesn't help his cause at all. However, with the Bulls now sitting on the periphery of the playoff race, the team may not have the luxury of resting Gasol down the stretch. Though Gasol will be able to play Monday, his minutes could again be monitored. He's seen no more than 25 minutes over his last three appearances.
