NEW YORK -- The Knicks waived Taj Gibson on Sunday, three weeks after bringing back the 38-year-old veteran big man.

The Knicks turned to Gibson, a favorite of coach Tom Thibodeau, on Dec. 15 shortly after starting center Mitchell Robinson was lost to a stress fracture in his left ankle. Gibson played in 10 games off the bench but hadn't appeared in the past three, with the Knicks using Precious Achiuwa as their backup big man after acquiring him from Toronto in the deal that brought OG Anunoby to New York.
