Taj Gibson will indeed end the season in Detroit. At 38 years old, the veteran pivot, freed from his obligations with the Knicks, was first requested for a ten-day contract. His agent revealed yesterday that the two parties had reached an agreement for him to stay until the end of the season.
Even if Taj Gibson has not played with his new team in the last ten days, his experience and his ability to supervise the young interiors of the franchise (Jalen Duren, Isaiah Stewart and James Wiseman) must necessarily have seduced Monty Williams, who will thus being able to count on him for another month, as a “super assistant” in charge of interior development, or potential rotation if necessary.
