Wizards' Taj Gibson: Now listed as questionable
Rotowire
Gibson (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Pistons.
Gibson left Sunday's loss to Philadelphia due to a non-COVID illness and didn't return. He was ruled out for Tuesday's game on Washington's initial injury report but an updated version now has him listed as questionable. Either way, he's been a fringe part of the Wizards' rotation, so his potential absence shouldn't have much of an impact.

Rotowire
Gibson finished Saturday's 113-103 victory over the Pelicans with nine points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block across 17 minutes.
Gibson fell one point short of his first double-double of the season, providing the Wizards with solid production off the bench. With Kristaps Porzingis still sidelined due to an ankle injury, Gibson has been inserted into the rotation, playing as the primary backup behind Daniel Gafford. Although Gibson's days of being regularly fantasy-relevant are well behind him, he can at least be considered for streaming purposes if you're feeling nostalgic.

After missing three straight games with a groin injury, Gibson was active for the Wizards' previous game Friday, but he didn't get off the bench in a 127-110 loss to the Thunder. Gibson returned to the rotation Monday, but he held only a bit role behind frontcourt starters Kristaps Porzingis and Daniel Gafford. However, with Gafford exiting with an ankle injury that could threaten his availability for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Gibson might see his minutes pick up in the short term.

Rotowire
Gibson chipped in zero points (0-2 FG), eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 16 minutes during Friday's 107-106 overtime victory over the Heat.
Gibson hadn't played in his team's last four games prior to Friday due to a neck injury and his current spot in the rotation, but he received noteworthy minutes off the bench in this one. He failed to score on two attempts from the field, but he turned in his best rebounding performance of the 2022-23 campaign and also swatted away his first two shots of the year.
