Thu Mar 2820:14Taj Gibson Out Friday Against Wizards
Detroit Pistons forward Taj Gibson (hamstring) is unavailable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. Gibson has been suffering from right-hamstring soreness and will miss his sixth consecutive contest. Currently, there is no timetable for when he will return. The veteran forward last played on March 18 against Boston, where he posted just three points, two rebounds, and one steal in 11 minutes of playing time. If the 38-year-old returns this season, he won't be a fantasy factor.

Wed Mar 2018:20Taj Gibson Ruled Out Wednesday
Detroit Pistons Forward Taj Gibson (hamstring) is unavailable for Wednesday's contest with the Indiana Pacers. Gibson has been suffering from right hamstring soreness. He's been playing on a 10-day contract after having the same agreement earlier in the season with the New York Knicks. On Monday, the veteran forward registered just three points, two rebounds, and one steal in 11 minutes of playing time. If the 38-year-old did play Wednesday, he wouldn't be a factor in fantasy play.

Tue Mar 1920:31Taj Gibson Questionable Wednesday Against Indiana
Detroit Pistons Forward Taj Gibson (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's contest with the Indiana Pacers. He was recently brought in on a 10-day contract after playing with the Knicks on the same agreement earlier in the season. Most recently, on Monday, he posted just three points, two rebounds, and one steal in 11 minutes on the court. Should the 38-year-old suit up Wednesday, fantasy managers shouldn't consider him to bolster their lineup.

Sat Mar 1614:11Taj Gibson Staying In Detroit
Forward Taj Gibson is expected to sign a contract on Saturday to remain in Detroit for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign. He was brought in on a 10-day contract after playing with the Knicks on the same agreement earlier in the season. However, the 38-year-old wasn't productive in New York, averaging 1.0 points and 1.8 rebounds. It hasn't been any better in Detroit, with Gibson failing to see the floor in his five games. With this in mind, the veteran hasn't offered anything to fantasy managers, and that's not expected to change anytime soon.

Thu Mar 717:47Taj Gibson Available For Pistons Thursday
Detroit Pistons forward/center Taj Gibson is available to make his team debut on Thursday versus Brooklyn. The veteran signed a 10-day contract with the Pistons earlier in the week. Gibson finds himself on his seventh team in the NBA. He's had 16 games with the Knicks this season, posting 1.0 points and 1.8 rebounds in 10.3 minutes. The 38-year-old likely won't feature much for Detroit either, serving as a backup for a young frontcourt of Isaiah Stewart, Jalen Duren, and James Wiseman.

Wed Dec 14 202220:54Taj Gibson To Start On Wednesday
Washington Wizards center Taj Gibson will get the starting nod for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This seems a bit odd that Gibson moves into the starting five over Daniel Gafford. The Wizards are having Kristaps Porzingis sit this game out, so Gibson and Gafford should both play significant minutes. Gafford is the much better fantasy option between the two players.

Sat Nov 12 202216:06Taj Gibson Officially Out On Saturday Night
Washington Wizards center Taj Gibson (neck) is out on Saturday against Utah. The 37-year-old has a cervical strain. However, considering Gibson has averaged only 2.5 points in 4.5 minutes per game this season, his absence won't impact the rotation.

Sat Nov 12 202215:27Taj Gibson Expected To Sit Again On Saturday
Washington Wizards center Taj Gibson (neck) is doubtful ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Utah Jazz due to a strained neck. The 37-year-old has been a filler piece for the team this season, relegating him to nearly five minutes per game. With Kristaps Porzingis (groin) probable, Gibson likely wouldn't have gotten much work, to begin with, so he can remain a free agent in all fantasy formats.

Thu Dec 2 202120:03Taj Gibson Receives Two Technical Fouls Thursday
New York Knicks center Taj Gibson was assessed two technical fouls during the first quarter of Thursday's game against the Bulls after arguing an offensive foul call. Gibson logged just three minutes off the bench prior to his exit, scoring two points and collecting one rebound. With Nerlens Noel (knee) already ruled out, Mitchell Robinson will see the lion's share of minutes at the five, with Julius Randle also on hand to serve as the center. Gibson's only path to fantasy relevance comes from absences ahead of him on the depth chart, so fantasy managers will want to check on New York's frontcourt before Saturday's outing vs. Denver.

Tue Nov 30 202119:00Nerlens Noel, Taj Gibson Return To Action Tuesday
New York Knicks centers Nerlens Noel (knee) and Taj Gibson (groin) have been cleared to suit up Tuesday vs. the Nets, giving the team their full allotment of rotational big men. Injuries have curtailed the start of Noel's year, limiting him to just eight games thus far; when healthy, he has averaged 4.6 points, 6.4 boards, and 1.6 blocks on a nightly basis. Gibson gets back into the mix after a five-game absence, although his role with New York's second unit is limited with both Noel and Mitchell Robinson (illness) cleared for action. Neither Noel or Gibson merits season-long interest at this stage, but an absence from Robinson would pave the way for either to become a short-term stream option.

Sat Nov 27 202119:02Nerlens Noel, Taj Gibson Will Miss Saturday’s Game
New York Knicks centers Nerlens Noel (knee) and Taj Gibson (groin) have been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Hawks, leaving the team's second unit further shorthanded. Without his two primary backups, Mitchell Robinson could see additional minutes funneled in his direction, but Julius Randle could pitch in at the five as well. Noel has been limited to just eight games this season, having battled myriad injuries in addition to fluctuating between the starting five and bench. Gibson's absence has now extended to five games; having scored in double figures just once this season, he remains an avoidable fantasy commodity even when healthy. The next chance the Knicks have to get their frontcourt at full strength comes Tuesday vs. Brooklyn.

Fri Nov 26 202117:35Taj Gibson Remains On The Injury Report Versus Phoenix
New York Knicks forward/center Taj Gibson (groin) is questionable for Friday's matchup versus Phoenix. The veteran remains on the injury report after missing his previous three games because of a sore groin. Unfortunately for the team, Mitchell Robinson (concussion) also carries the same designation, so Nerlens Noel could move back into the starting lineup against the Suns. Obi Toppin, who had 12 points, four boards, one block, and one steal during the win over the Lakers on Tuesday, could also see a more prominent role and should be the preferred option over Noel in fantasy formats.

Tue Nov 2 202114:16Nerlens Noel, Taj Gibson Questionable For Wednesday
New York Knicks centers Nerlens Noel (knee) and Taj Gibson (ankle) are listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Gibson suffered a sprained ankle during Monday's contest, but was able to practice on Tuesday. He has a decent shot at playing on Wednesday, but Noel remains uncertain. Noel hasn't played all season and missed Tuesday's practice due to personal reasons. Obi Toppin and Jericho Sims would be asked to pick up the slack if either player misses time. Toppin could have some streaming appeal for Wednesday's slate.

Sun Oct 24 202116:24Taj Gibson Available Against Visiting Magic
New York Knicks forward/center Taj Gibson (personal) is available for Sunday's matchup against Orlando. The veteran hasn't played this season due to the birth of his child. As a result, Obi Toppin may see a reduction in minutes. However, with Nerlens Noel (knee) labeled as doubtful and in danger of missing his third-straight contest, Toppin may continue to get some work, although his fantasy ceiling is considerably lower.

Sat Oct 23 202119:08New York Deems Taj Gibson Questionable For Sunday’s Game
New York Knicks power forward/center Taj Gibson (personal) has been listed as questionable to make his season debut Sunday vs. Orlando. Gibson's return would be a boon for the Knicks' frontcourt, which is unlikely to have Nerlens Noel (knee) against the Magic, while Mitchell Robinson (hamstring) is banged up in his own right. While Gibson is far from a focal point of the New York offense, his constant energy while on the court earned him north of 20 minutes and 5.6 rebounds per contest last season. He would have roll of the dice DFS punt play appeal should he ultimately get the thumbs up to take the floor Sunday.

Fri Oct 22 202114:22Taj Gibson Won't Suit Up On Friday
New York Knicks center Taj Gibson (personal) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. He missed the season opener due to the birth of his son earlier in the week. Obi Toppin scored a career-high 14 points while logging in 28 minutes during the season opener. Julius Randle and Toppin should team up front again with Gibson missing at least one more game. Toppin has some streaming upside after an impressive outing on Wednesday.

Thu Oct 21 202120:08Taj Gibson May Miss Friday
New York Knicks forward/center Taj Gibson (personal) is listed as questionable for Friday against the Orlando Magic. Gibson missed the season opener due to personal reasons, but has a chance to return to the team in time for Friday's game. The Knicks are thin at center with Nerlens Noel (knee) out and mostly used Julius Randle as primary backup to Mitchell Robinson. If Gibson sits again, look for Obi Toppin to see a lot of run while Robinson sits. Randle should see a ton of minutes as usual.

Wed Oct 20 202117:51Nerlens Noel, Taj Gibson Unavailable For Wednesday
The New York Knicks frontcourt depth will be tested in Wednesday's season opener vs. the Celtics as center Nerlens Noel (knee) and power forward/center Taj Gibson (personal) have been ruled out prior to tip-off. Noel's absence was somewhat expected after he earned a doubtful designation, but Gibson's means that Mitchell Robinson is set to have a sizable frontcourt role alongside Julius Randle. Noel is coming off having averaged a career-best 2.2 blocks per contest last year, but with Robinson entrenched as the team's starter, his season-long fantasy upside stands to take a hit. The next opportunity that Noel or Gibson have to return to action comes Friday against Orlando.

Fri Jun 4 202115:52Capela is backbone of Hawks -- and quite a trash talker, too
ATLANTA (AP) — If Trae Young is the unquestioned star of the Atlanta Hawks, then Clint Capela is the backbone. A pretty good trash talker, too. The burly, 6-foot-10 Swiss center has given the Hawks the gritty defensive presence they so desperately needed. Without Capela, it's hard to envision Atlanta preparing for its first appearance in the Eastern Conference semifinals since 2016. “He's the anchor for us,” interim coach Nate McMillan said. “Defensively, he's been the guy all season who cleans up our breakdowns and mistakes on the perimeter.” Capela was acquired by the Hawks from Houston last year at the trade deadline — part of a 12-player deal that signaled Atlanta was ready to take the next step in a massive rebuild that produced three straight dismal seasons. For the first time in the overhaul, the Hawks weren't taking on a big salary just for the sake of future cap space. They had big plans for Capela, even though a foot injury prevented him from suiting up for his new team before... [More]
Mon Apr 19 202116:27Thibodeau's ways working - and winning - with surging Knicks
NEW YORK (AP) — A smile crept across Tom Thibodeau’s face. A coach who has said he’s never happy couldn’t hide that he was. New Orleans coach Stan Van Gundy had called Thibodeau’s New York Knicks a throwback to the 1990s version, a rough and tough team hated by opponents and beloved by its fans. Thibodeau was an assistant then to Van Gundy's brother, Jeff, during the last sustained success the franchise enjoyed. “It was a great period for the Knicks,” Thibodeau said. “I think that that period is long gone, but when you look at it, the same things go into winning.” For the first time in years, that’s just what the Knicks are doing. With Julius Randle carrying a team built on defense in an era when offenses rule, the Knicks have surged into the Eastern Conference playoff race after six consecutive wins, their longest streak in seven years. At 31-27, they began the week sixth in the East but only a half-game out of fourth place. That put them not only in good shape to at least qualify for... [More]
