Knicks signing Taj Gibson after waiving Dylan Windler

So it appears the Knicks will return to an old friend and grizzled veteran in center/forward Taj Gibson. According to his agency, Priority Sports, Gibson is signing with the Knicks. It is believed to be a deal for the rest of the season for the veteran’s minimum. The move has not yet been announced.

In order to make room for Gibson, the Knicks waived guard Dylan Windler, as we relayed in the full post here. Windler had his two-way contract converted to a standard deal at the start of the season, but still spent plenty of time with the G League club. He appeared in just three games with New York.

Gibson, 38, is 6-foot-9 and was waived by the Wizards in October. He played for the Knicks from 2019-22 — and has appeared in 945 career games overall, including runs with the Bulls, Thunder and Timberwolves as well.

Last season, Gibson appeared in 49 games with Washington and averaged 3.4 points and 1.9 rebounds.
