One can hardly be surprised when the Chicago Bulls drop injury news out of the sky. This morning, it was announced that Taj Gibson underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair his left ankle and his estimated return to full basketball activity is four months. Via the official press release, the Bulls say Gibson successfully underwent the procedure on Tuesday in Indianapolis and the surgery was performed by foot specialist Dr. David Porter.
Miraculously, Gibson played in 62 games last season while battling chronic ankles problems. By my unofficial count, Gibson rolled his newly repaired left ankle four times over the course of the year.
