Grabs six boards in loss Gibson closed with four points (2-3 FG), six rebounds and two assists in 11 minutes during Sunday's 93-86 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Gibson finishes his 16th and perhaps last season in the NBA with a muted performance in only 11 minutes on the floor for Charlotte. The veteran big man played in 37 games during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 2.9 points and 3.2 rebounds across 11.1 minutes per contest.

Suiting up Friday Gibson (illness) is available for Friday's game versus the Kings.

Impact Gibson has been upgraded from probable to available Friday despite dealing with an illness. Due to Mark Williams (back) being ruled out against Sacramento, Gibson could receive increased playing time.

APRIL 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Now listed as probable Gibson (illness) is probable for Friday's game against the Kings.

Impact It was previously reported that Gibson had been given the green light to suit up Friday, but the team has since added him back to the injury report as probable. Despite this, all indications point to Gibson being able to take the court versus Sacramento.

APRIL 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Will play vs. Sacramento Gibson (illness) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Kings.

Impact After missing Wednesday's game against the Pacers due to an illness, Gibson will be available to play in Friday's game against Sacramento. However, the veteran big man has made much of an impact from a fantasy perspective this season, averaging only 11.0 minutes per game for Charlotte.

Won't play vs. Indiana Gibson (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Impact After playing only five minutes in Monday's loss to the Jazz, Gibson won't be available to play Wednesday in Indiana due to an illness. The veteran big man hasn't made much of an impact this season from a fantasy perspective, averaging just 11.0 minutes per game for the Hornets.

APRIL 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Wednesday Gibson (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Houston.

Impact Gibson is a fringe rotation player for Charlotte, even when the team is very shorthanded. The veteran has averaged 8.2 minutes across six March appearances.

APRIL 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Muted role continues Gibson had one assist in five minutes during Monday's 110-106 victory over the Jazz.

Impact Gibson failed to score in the win, suiting up for just the fourth time in the past 12 games. Now in the twilight of his career, Gibson's role on the team is as a mentor and guide, as opposed to a productive on-court piece. This is reflected in his season averages of just 2.9 points and 3.3 rebounds in 11.0 minutes per game.

APRIL 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Three rejections in Big Easy Gibson posted four points (2-4 FG), one rebound, three blocks and one steal across 15 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 98-94 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact The 39-year-old is more coach than player at this stage of his career, but Gibson tied his season high in blocks with Sunday's performance. The 15 minutes also represented his largest workload since he played 22 minutes against the Magic on Feb. 12 -- since then, he's gotten onto the court in only six of the Hornets' last 22 contests.

MARCH 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Available Wednesday Gibson (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against Minnesota.

Impact After missing Monday's loss to Golden State due to an illness, the veteran big man will be available off the bench Wednesday. With Mark Williams, Jusuf Nurkic (back) and Moussa Diabate all active against the Timberwolves, however, Gibson is not guaranteed to see the court.

MARCH 5, 2025 • Associated Press

Likely to return Wednesday Gibson (illness) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Gibson was unable to play in Monday's loss to the Warriors due to an illness, but the veteran center appears to be on track to be available Wednesday. He's seen sparse playing time off the bench over the past couple of weeks as the fourth-string center behind Mark Williams, Jusuf Nurkic and Moussa Diabate.

MARCH 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Monday Gibson (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Gibson has missed six of the club's last seven outings due to a coach's decision, and he has played only four minutes since the All-Star break. The veteran center's absence shouldn't cause any waves in the rotation.

MARCH 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Monday Gibson (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Gibson hasn't been in the rotation lately, so his status won't have a big impact on fantasy hoops.

MARCH 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Rare double-double in loss Gibson had 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds and one block across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 102-86 loss to the Magic.

Impact Gibson turned back the clock, producing his first double-double in the last two seasons. Now firmly in the veteran category, Gibson typically plays limited minutes only when the Hornets are dealing with multiple injuries. Despite this performance, there is no reason to think Gibson will be stepping into a larger role any time soon.

FEBRUARY 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bench Saturday Gibson will come off the bench in Saturday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact After being in the starting lineup for three of the last four games, Gibson will return to a bench role with the Hornets. Mark Williams will get the start against Denver with the task of trying to contain three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic.

FEBRUARY 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Fails to score in spot start Gibson posted zero points (0-4 FG, 0-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 104-83 loss to Brooklyn.

Impact Gibson got the starting nod after Mark Williams was ruled out due to rest. Despite the promotion, Gibson was a non-factor on the offensive end, although he did manage to haul down a season-high 10 rebounds. The Hornets are left with two games this week, a back-to-back set on Friday and Saturday. Based on their current trajectory, there is a chance Williams will sit one of those games, giving Gibson another run with the starting unit.

JANUARY 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Will start against Brooklyn Gibson will get the start for Wednesday's matchup against the Nets.

Impact With Mark Williams (foot) still on the mend, Gibson will make his 10th start of the 2024-25 campaign for the Hornets. The veteran big man is averaging 14.1 minutes as a starter for Charlotte this season, putting up 3.4 points and 4.1 rebounds per game.

JANUARY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench Monday Gibson is coming off the bench in Monday's game against Los Angeles.

Impact After playing 12 minutes in Saturday's spot start against the Pelicans, Gibson will revert back to usual role off Charlotte's bench in Mark Williams' return Monday. Gibson is not a lock to see the floor against the Lakers, so he can be left on the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues.

JANUARY 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday vs. NOLA Gibson is in the Hornets' starting lineup against the Pelicans on Saturday.

Impact Gibson has been a healthy scratch in the Hornets' last four games, but he'll enter the starting five Saturday due to the absence of Mark Williams (foot). Across his eight starts in the regular season, Gibson has averaged 3.1 points and 4.3 rebounds over 14.3 minutes per contest.
