DECEMBER 14, 2024 • YOUTUBE
Back to bench Gibson won't start Sunday's game against the Pacers.
Impact With Nick Richards (ankle) and Moussa Diabate (illness) sidelined, Gibson drew a spot start Saturday against the Cavaliers and posted one rebound and three assists in 17 minutes. With Richards back in action, Gibson will shift to his usual bench role and should see minutes, as Mark Williams (rest/foot) is out after serving as Gibson's backup versus Cleveland.

Running with first unit Gibson is starting Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.
Impact Gibson will draw the start at center after news broke that the team would be without Nick Richards (ankle) and Moussa Diabate (illness) on Saturday. Gibson and Mark Williams should see the majority of the club's minutes at center.
DECEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Slides back to bench Friday Gibson will come off the bench in Friday's game versus the Knicks.
Impact Moussa Diabate will get the start over Gibson in an injury-ridden frontcourt. The veteran big man started in each of the club's last two outings, during which he averaged 2.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals while shooting 33.3 percent from the field across 13.0 minutes per game.

Starting Monday vs. Orlando Gibson is in the Hornets' starting lineup for Monday's game against the Magic.
Impact Gibson has played 13 minutes off the bench collectively over his last two games, but he will start at center Monday while Moussa Diabate comes off the bench. In his five starts this season, Gibson has averaged 4.2 points and 4.2 rebounds over 14.2 minutes per game.
NOVEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Returns to bench Gibson isn't in the starting five for Saturday's game versus the Bucks.
Impact Gibson will be replaced by Miles Bridges in the starting lineup Saturday. In his only appearance coming off the bench this season, Gibson logged just four minutes of action.
NOVEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Quiet in spot start Gibson had five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal over 16 minutes during Monday's 114-93 loss to Minnesota.
Impact Gibson was given the starting nod, a fair indication as to how desperate the Hornets are when it comes to the center position. Mark Williams (foot) and Nick Richards (shoulder) are both sidelined, meaning Gibson is going to be forced to play for the foreseeable future. Now in the twilight of his career, this move is unlikely to result in meaningful production.
NOVEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Starting against Minnesota Gibson is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Charlie Walton of ZoneCoverage.com reports.
Impact After sitting for the first five games of the regular season, Gibson saw four minutes of playing time against the Celtics on Saturday. Gibson will get the start at center Monday and give the Hornets some size against Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert.

Will McBride Accept Taj Gibson's 'Challenge'? Taj Gibson recently made a video “challenging” New York Knicks guard Miles “Duece” McBride.
SEPTEMBER 14, 2024 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Signs pact with Buzz City Gibson signed a one-year, $3.3 million contract with the Hornets on Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Gibson briefly played for both the Knicks and Pistons last season, during which he averaged 1.7 points and 1.9 rebounds across 10.3 minutes in only 20 regular-season appearances. The 39-year-old will serve as a valuable veteran presence on the Hornets; however, he will likely pick up minimal playing time behind Mark Williams and Nick Richards.

Mind over minutes: Why there is no such thing as garbage time to Tom Thibodeau
Scores five points in return Gibson (hamstring) tallied five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) in nine minutes off the bench in Saturday's 113-103 loss to the Nets.
Impact Making his return from the right hamstring strain that had sidelined him for each of the previous nine games, Gibson ended up being needed as a backup center while Detroit had only 10 players available. Assuming the Pistons get at least one of Jalen Duren (ankle), Tosan Evbuomwan (G League assignment) or Simone Fontecchio (toe) back in action for Tuesday's game in Philadelphia, Gibson will likely find himself outside of the rotation.
APRIL 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Expected to return Saturday Gibson (hamstring) is listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the Nets.
Impact Gibson is expected to return to action Saturday after missing Detroit's last nine contests with a right hamstring injury. However, the veteran big man has seen inconsistent playing time, even when available.
APRIL 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Officially ruled out Gibson (hamstring) won't play in Friday's game versus the Grizzlies.

APRIL 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Not playing vs. Memphis Gibson (hamstring) is out against the Grizzlies on Friday.
Impact Gibson has made just one appearance for the Pistons since the All-Star break, and with the team having nothing to play for, it seems unlikely he'll suit up for them again before the season ends on April 14. Gibson's next chance to feature will come against the Nets on Saturday in the second half of a back-to-back set.
APRIL 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impact As expected, Gibson has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will be sidelined again by a right hamstring strain. His next chance to suit up will come Friday in Memphis.
APRIL 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Considered doubtful for Wednesday Gibson (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
Impact It appears unlikely that Gibson will be able to suit up Wednesday as he continues battling a right hamstring strain. James Wiseman, Tosan Evbuomwan and Chimezie Metu will continue leading the second unit's frontcourt rotation if Gibson is unavailable.
APRIL 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Ruled out Monday Gibson (hamstring) won't play Monday against the Grizzlies.
Impact As expected, Gibson won't feature Monday, meaning the veteran power forward will now miss a seventh consecutive game -- and the 14th of Detroit's last 15 contests. His next chance to play will come against the Hawks on Wednesday.
APRIL 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

MARCH 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Out Monday Gibson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Knicks.
Impact Gibson has made just one appearance for the Pistons since signing in mid-March. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in Minnesota, but even when he's healthy, the veteran likely won't see many minutes.
MARCH 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Out versus New Orleans Gibson (hamstring) will not play in Sunday's game versus the Pelicans.
Impact Gibson will be on the sideline for the third straight game due to a hamstring injury. The veteran big man's next chance to provide depth in Detroit's frontcourt will come Monday in New York.
