Vernon Carey Jr. is having himself a game here against the Suns. He’s got 13 pts and 4 reb in 8 min, including 7-7 FT. With the Taj Gibson signing, Carey Jr. doesn’t have an obvious path to NBA minutes this season, but he’s developing and could provide depth in case of injury. – 6:27 PM

Knicks announce they have waived Taj Gibson — not a surprise, non-guaranteed $5.2 million contract and he can return after all the other moves. – 5:14 PM

With the Knicks having waived Taj Gibson, I’d imagine the deal(s) to send Alec Burks and Nerlens Noel to the Detroit Pistons might be right around the corner. That will free up the necessary cap space to sign Jalen Brunson and Jerricho Sims. – 4:53 PM

The Knicks announce they have waived Taj Gibson. Yes, the Heat need a power forward. But assuredly not a 37-year-old power forward (. . . although they did have one last season). – 4:53 PM

Knicks announce that they have waived Taj Gibson. Gibson’s cap hold was roughly $5 million for next season, so this frees up more cap space for New York. Several teams have expressed interest in the veteran center during the free agency period. pic.twitter.com/iHfeCOemt2 – 4:51 PM

More on this storyline
Ian Begley: Knicks made a push to bring Taj Gibson back on a minimum deal, per SNY source. But with Mitchell Robinson, Isaiah Hartenstein on roster & Jericho Sims’ 2-way converted, Gibson has options that offer a larger on-court role.

Shams Charania: Taj Gibson plans to sign with the Washington Wizards once he clears waivers on Sunday, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Gibson was released today by New York and would give Washington an accomplished veteran big man. -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / July 8, 2022
