Retirement time has not yet come for Taj Gibsonbecause ESPN says that he signed a one-year contract, with a minimum salary (i.e. 3.2 million dollars), with the Wizards.
At 38 years old, this will be the 15th NBA season for this interior player who was already playing Washington last season (3.4 points, 1.9 rebounds over 49 games and 10 minutes average). A confirmed veteran, he will once again supervise the young people of the capital’s franchise, such as Bilal Coulibaly, Johnny Davis, Ryan Rollins, Patrick Baldwin Jr, Deni Avdija, Corey Kispert, Daniel Gafford and Jordan Poole.
Previously with Chicago, Oklahoma City, Minnesota and New York, the very experienced Taj Gibson has statistics of 8.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in nearly 1,000 NBA games.
