The New York Knicks are gearing up to sign Veteran Center Taj Gibson, who was on their radar Thursday morning. Gibson played with the Knicks in 2019, averaging 6.1 points per game and 4.3 total rebounds over 16.5 minutes. He was also instrumental as a mentor for Mitchell Robinson during his rookie season, and the Knicks view him as a potential depth piece moving forward.
