Hornets' Taj Gibson: Rare double-double in loss
Rotowire
Gibson had 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds and one block across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 102-86 loss to the Magic.
Gibson turned back the clock, producing his first double-double in the last two seasons. Now firmly in the veteran category, Gibson typically plays limited minutes only when the Hornets are dealing with multiple injuries. Despite this performance, there is no reason to think Gibson will be stepping into a larger role any time soon.

Hornets' Taj Gibson: Fails to score in spot start
Rotowire
Gibson posted zero points (0-4 FG, 0-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 104-83 loss to Brooklyn.
Gibson got the starting nod after Mark Williams was ruled out due to rest. Despite the promotion, Gibson was a non-factor on the offensive end, although he did manage to haul down a season-high 10 rebounds. The Hornets are left with two games this week, a back-to-back set on Friday and Saturday. Based on their current trajectory, there is a chance Williams will sit one of those games, giving Gibson another run with the starting unit.

With Nick Richards (ankle) and Moussa Diabate (illness) sidelined, Gibson drew a spot start Saturday against the Cavaliers and posted one rebound and three assists in 17 minutes.

Hornets' Taj Gibson: Quiet in spot start
Rotowire
Gibson had five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal over 16 minutes during Monday's 114-93 loss to Minnesota.
Gibson was given the starting nod, a fair indication as to how desperate the Hornets are when it comes to the center position. Mark Williams (foot) and Nick Richards (shoulder) are both sidelined, meaning Gibson is going to be forced to play for the foreseeable future. Now in the twilight of his career, this move is unlikely to result in meaningful production.
