Bulls' Gibson expected to play Monday vs. Raptors

The Chicago Bulls are slowly but surely returning to full health. Again. 

Power forward Taj Gibson is expected to return from an ankle injury Monday against the Toronto Raptors, according to head coach Tom Thibodeau. 

Gibson missed Chicago's last two games, wins against the Memphis Grizzlies and New York Knicks. He's averaging 12.6 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game. 

The Bulls are expected to have Derrick Rose, out of the lineup the last two games due to an illness, back as well, meaning Monday night's matchup with the East-leading Raptors should be a great one.
