Won't play Tuesday Gibson (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Gibson left Sunday's loss to Philadelphia due to an illness and didn't return. The aliment will sideline the veteran center for at least one more contest, but he should have plenty of time to recover before Washington resumes action Friday in Cleveland.

Won't return Sunday Gibson won't return to Sunday's game against the 76ers due to a non-COVID illness.

Scores six off bench Gibson posted six points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one rebound in 11 minutes during Tuesday's 126-101 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Gibson was a DNP-CD in the last two matchups, but he saw some run off the bench Tuesday and was efficient with his limited opportunities. He's been used in just three of the Wizards' seven games in February and has averaged 5.0 points and 2.3 rebounds in 10.0 minutes per game during that time.

Teases double-double in win Gibson finished Saturday's 113-103 victory over the Pelicans with nine points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block across 17 minutes.

Impact Gibson fell one point short of his first double-double of the season, providing the Wizards with solid production off the bench. With Kristaps Porzingis still sidelined due to an ankle injury, Gibson has been inserted into the rotation, playing as the primary backup behind Daniel Gafford. Although Gibson's days of being regularly fantasy-relevant are well behind him, he can at least be considered for streaming purposes if you're feeling nostalgic.
