Signs second 10-day contract The Knicks signed Gibson to a second 10-day contract Friday, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gibson rejoined the Knicks at the end of January but has had an inconsistent role over the past few days. He wasn't part of the rotation for three matchups but has seen double-digit minutes in the last two games, averaging 2.5 rebounds in 17.5 minutes per game. While he'll remain with the club on another 10-day deal, his role will likely continue to fluctuate.

Back to New York on 10-day The Knicks signed Gibson to a 10-day contract Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Gibson signed with the Knicks in December following injuries to Mitchell Robinson (ankle) and Jericho Sims, but he was let go before his contract became fully guaranteed. Sims has since returned to full strength, while Robinson remains out. The Knicks are also going to be without Julius Randle (shoulder) for a couple of weeks, so Gibson should provide frontcourt depth once again. In 10 appearances this season, Gibson has averaged 1.4 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.6 blocks in 9.7 minutes per game.

Knicks move on Gibson was waived by the Knicks on Sunday, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gibson's contract was set to become fully guaranteed Sunday, so cutting him represents a cost-savings move as well as a roster-flexibility move for New York. The 38-year-old averaged 1.4 points and 1.8 rebounds in 9.7 minutes across 10 appearances for the Knicks this season.

Returning to New York Gibson signed a one-year contract with the Knicks on Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Gibson spent the 2022-23 campaign with the Wizards but spent the previous three seasons in New York, where he averaged 5.3 points and 4.8 rebounds in 18.5 minutes per game over 159 appearances. While he played a career-low 9.8 minutes per game in Washington, Gibson has plenty of experience playing under coach Tom Thibodeau and will provide frontcourt depth for the Knicks with Mitchell Robinson (ankle) slated to miss several weeks. Dylan Windler was waived by New York to make room on the roster.

Parts ways with Washington Gibson was waived by the Wizards on Monday, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gibson's production declined during his first year in Washington last season, as he averaged 3.4 points and 1.9 rebounds in 9.8 minutes per game over 49 appearances. The 38-year-old was unable to make the Wizards' final roster this year and will now have to seek out other opportunities for the 2023-24 campaign.

Scores five in win Gibson recorded five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and one assist in seven minutes during Wednesday's 131-106 preseason win over the Knicks.

Impact Gibson dealt with a groin injury to begin the preseason but was a full participant in Sunday's practice before suiting up Wednesday. It wouldn't be surprising to see him available for Friday's preseason finale against the Raptors.

Out against Charlotte Gibson (groin) has been ruled out for Washington's preseason contest against the Hornets on Thursday, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gibson missed the preseason opener against the Cairns Taipans of Australia's NBL, and head coach Wes Unseld Jr. said the veteran big man will remain out here. His next chance to feature will come against the Knicks on Oct. 18.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Returning to Washington Gibson signed a one-year, $3.2 million deal with the Wizards on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Gibson will return to Washington for a second season after he appeared in 49 games (two starts) during the 2022-23 campaign. The backup center averaged 3.4 points and 1.9 rebounds in 9.8 minutes per game, marking the fewest time in his 14-year career he ended a season with less than 10 minutes per game. The 38-year-old may be able to carve out a bigger role behind Daniel Gafford with Kristaps Porzingis no longer in the picture, but Gibson likely still won't be fantasy relevant during the 2023-24 season.

Good to go Tuesday Gibson (illness) is available for Tuesday's contest against the Pistons, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gibson was initially listed as out but is feeling better than expected. He hasn't cleared single-digit minutes since Feb. 28, so his presence doesn't alter things much.

MARCH 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Now listed as questionable Gibson (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Pistons.

Impact Gibson left Sunday's loss to Philadelphia due to a non-COVID illness and didn't return. He was ruled out for Tuesday's game on Washington's initial injury report but an updated version now has him listed as questionable. Either way, he's been a fringe part of the Wizards' rotation, so his potential absence shouldn't have much of an impact.

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.

MARCH 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact Gibson tallied two points (1-1 FG) in six minutes off the bench Sunday before being ruled out for the remainder of the game in the second half. It's unclear whether he'll be available Tuesday against Detroit.

MARCH 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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.
