Rotowire
Gibson (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Hornets' Taj Gibson: Iffy for Wednesday
Rotowire

Hornets' Taj Gibson: Muted role continues
Rotowire
Gibson had one assist in five minutes during Monday's 110-106 victory over the Jazz.
Gibson failed to score in the win, suiting up for just the fourth time in the past 12 games. Now in the twilight of his career, Gibson's role on the team is as a mentor and guide, as opposed to a productive on-court piece. This is reflected in his season averages of just 2.9 points and 3.3 rebounds in 11.0 minutes per game.

Hornets' Taj Gibson: Three rejections in Big Easy
Rotowire
Gibson posted four points (2-4 FG), one rebound, three blocks and one steal across 15 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 98-94 loss to the Pelicans.
The 39-year-old is more coach than player at this stage of his career, but with Mark Williams resting, Gibson tied his season high in blocks with Sunday's performance. The 15 minutes also represented his largest workload since he played 22 minutes against the Magic on Feb. 12 -- since then, he's gotten onto the court in only six of the Hornets' last 22 contests.

Hornets' Taj Gibson: Available Wednesday
Rotowire
Gibson (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against Minnesota.
After missing Monday's loss to Golden State due to an illness, the veteran big man will be available off the bench Wednesday. With Mark Williams, Jusuf Nurkic (back) and Moussa Diabate all active against the Timberwolves, however, Gibson is not guaranteed to see the court.

Hornets' Taj Gibson: Likely to return Wednesday
Rotowire
Gibson (illness) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
Gibson was unable to play in Monday's loss to the Warriors due to an illness, but the veteran center appears to be on track to be available Wednesday. He's seen sparse playing time off the bench over the past couple of weeks as the fourth-string center behind Mark Williams, Jusuf Nurkic and Moussa Diabate.

Hornets' Taj Gibson: Ruled out Monday
Rotowire
Gibson (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors.
Gibson has missed six of the club's last seven outings due to a coach's decision, and he has played only four minutes since the All-Star break. The veteran center's absence shouldn't cause any waves in the rotation.

Hornets' Taj Gibson: Rare double-double in loss
Rotowire
Gibson had 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds and one block across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 102-86 loss to the Magic.
Gibson turned back the clock, producing his first double-double in the last two seasons. Now firmly in the veteran category, Gibson typically plays limited minutes only when the Hornets are dealing with multiple injuries. Despite this performance, there is no reason to think Gibson will be stepping into a larger role any time soon.

Rotowire
Gibson will come off the bench in Saturday's game against the Nuggets.
After being in the starting lineup for three of the last four games, Gibson will return to a bench role with the Hornets. Mark Williams will get the start against Denver with the task of trying to contain three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic.

Hornets' Taj Gibson: Fails to score in spot start
Rotowire
Gibson posted zero points (0-4 FG, 0-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 104-83 loss to Brooklyn.
Gibson got the starting nod after Mark Williams was ruled out due to rest. Despite the promotion, Gibson was a non-factor on the offensive end, although he did manage to haul down a season-high 10 rebounds. The Hornets are left with two games this week, a back-to-back set on Friday and Saturday. Based on their current trajectory, there is a chance Williams will sit one of those games, giving Gibson another run with the starting unit.

Rotowire
Gibson will get the start for Wednesday's matchup against the Nets.
With Mark Williams (foot) still on the mend, Gibson will make his 10th start of the 2024-25 campaign for the Hornets. The veteran big man is averaging 14.1 minutes as a starter for Charlotte this season, putting up 3.4 points and 4.1 rebounds per game.

Hornets' Taj Gibson: Back to bench Monday
Rotowire
Gibson is coming off the bench in Monday's game against the Lakers.
After playing 12 minutes in Saturday's spot start against the Pelicans, Gibson will revert back to his usual role off Charlotte's bench in Mark Williams' return Monday. Gibson is not a lock to see the floor against the Lakers, so he can be left on the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues.

Hornets' Taj Gibson: Starting Saturday vs. NOLA
Rotowire
Gibson is in the Hornets' starting lineup against the Pelicans on Saturday.
Gibson has been a healthy scratch in the Hornets' last four games, but he'll enter the starting five Saturday due to the absence of Mark Williams (foot). Across his eight starts in the regular season, Gibson has averaged 3.1 points and 4.3 rebounds over 14.3 minutes per contest.

Hornets' Taj Gibson: Back to bench
Rotowire
Gibson won't start Sunday's game against the Pacers.
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.
