Taj Gibson, a veteran player, has rejoined the New York Knicks. Despite being older than LeBron James, Gibson is determined to be a supportive teammate. The Knicks are pleased to have him back, with coach Tom Thibodeau indicating that Gibson's role will be limited. Gibson has faced some physical challenges during games, but his presence on the court has been significant for the team, especially when other centers are unavailable.
False alarm. Taj Gibson walked off the floor but came back to the bench shortly after. Important minutes for the 38-year-old Gibson. Knicks will need whatever he can give down Robinson, Sims and Hartenstein tonight. https://t.co/lCjHoM1DtQ
Now Taj Gibson has asked to check out the game and has walked straight to the locker room after attempting to take a charge on Cam Johnson. The Knicks are officially down to no centers.
Taj Gibson, who was limping at one point in the game, said he's not hurt. Just took a bump in the game.
Taj Gibson, @USC_Hoops alum, checks into the game for the #Knicks and is met with some applause.
Holy crap, it's Taj Gibson

Taj Gibson ready to be ‘great teammate’ in another Knicks chance https://t.co/TjbqEdSt2O https://t.co/dSTb8SgrDs
Tom Thibodeau said before the game that the rotation is good as is after the Taj Gibson signing. Don't expect Gibson to be a regular. But the way he sees the floor (I imagine) is if both Sims and Hartenstein get in serious foul trouble.
Knicks happy to have Taj Gibson back abd Gibson was thrilled to get the call https://t.co/LcPKJkedr6 via @Newsday
Taj Gibson: "I’m just here to be supportive. Not trying to take anybody’s shine. I’m just here to be a great teammate."
It’s amazing that LeBron is older than Taj Gibson
