Tom Thibodeau has a soft spot for Taj Gibson, considering him a personal favorite. The Knicks coach expressed on Monday that if the veteran forward, who is 38 years old, chooses to retire from the NBA, there’s a welcoming opportunity within the Knicks’ coaching staff.
Gibson recently returned to the Knicks last month due to injuries affecting Mitchell Robinson and Jericho Sims. However, on Sunday, he was waived just before the deadline to secure his contract for the rest of the season.
