Taj Gibson was still not in uniform with the Knicks Friday night as he waited out the COVID-19 protocol. But Tom Thibodeau, who coached him in Chicago and Minnesota, was excited to have his arrival on tap.
Gibson, who played for the Knicks last season and started 56 games, will need to go through testing and a waiting period, which puts him on target to join the team early next week.
"I think his career speaks for itself and obviously he embodies all the things that we believe in," Thibodeau said.
