Knicks waive Taj Gibson, the veteran big man they brought back last month
The New York Knicks waived Taj Gibson on Sunday, three weeks after bringing back the 38-year-old veteran big man. The Knicks turned to Gibson, a favorite of coach Tom Thibodeau, on Dec. 15 shortly after starting center Mitchell Robinson was lost to a stress fracture in his left ankle. “Taj stepped up in a big way to help our team this season and has had an immeasurable impact on our organization both on and off the court throughout his team with the Knicks,” team president Leon Rose said in a statement.
