Knicks Waive Veteran Taj Gibson, Eyeing Trade Opportunities

Move comes ahead of trade deadline, with Knicks reportedly targeting five potential power forwards to bolster their frontcourt.

  • The New York Knicks have waived veteran power forward Taj Gibson, freeing up a roster spot ahead of the trade deadline.
  • Gibson, who was brought back to the Knicks last month, played in ten games but did not make an appearance in the previous three.
  • The Knicks are reportedly looking to strengthen their frontcourt and have identified five potential trade targets, including Karl-Anthony Towns and Pascal Siakam.
  • Gibson's departure comes after the Knicks traded for Precious Achiuwa and OG Anunoby, who have since taken over his role.
  • The Knicks are currently sitting in the middle of the pack in the Eastern Conference and are expected to be active in the trade market to fuel a deep playoff run.
