Taj Gibson Rejoins Knicks on 10-Day Contract Amid Randle's Injury

The veteran player's fourth reunion with coach Tom Thibodeau could extend through the season, with a potential future in coaching.

Taj Gibson has signed a 10-day contract with the New York Knicks, marking his fourth reunion with coach Tom Thibodeau.
Gibson's signing comes in the wake of an injury to Knicks' All-star Julius Randle, who is expected to be out for several weeks due to a dislocated shoulder.
Gibson, who has averaged 1.4 points and 1.8 rebounds per game this season, is seen as a reliable insurance player due to his experience and familiarity with Thibodeau's system.
Gibson's future in coaching is speculated, with Thibodeau expressing his desire to have Gibson join his coaching staff after retirement.
The Knicks have the option to extend Gibson's contract for a second 10-day period or sign him for the rest of the season after the current contract expires.
