Bulls forward Taj Gibson had to be helped off the court after injuring his right ankle in the fourth quarter of Chicago's game against the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night.

The injury occurred when the Pacers' Danny Granger drove the lane about 3 minutes into the period. Gibson hit the back of teammate Ronnie Brewer's foot and landed awkwardly.

It was not immediately clear how serious the injury was.
