Gibson was with the New York Knicks for the previous three seasons (2018-21).
The 14-year veteran Gibson “will at least get a consideration” to be signed by the Knicks if the team “wants to add someone with a good impact in the locker room,” according to SNY.
New York has an open roster spot and doesn’t have a backup power forward behind Julius Randle after trading Obi Toppin in June.
Gibson also has plenty of familiarity with Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeaux, who coached the big man in New York as well as back in their Chicago Bulls and Minnesota Timberwolves days.
A product of USC, the 6-foot-9, 225-pound Gibson was drafted by Chicago in the first round of the 2009 NBA Draft.
He made the NBA All-Rookie team after playing 82 games and averaged nine points and 7.5 per appearance.
Thibodeaux became the Bulls head coach in 2010 as Gibson went on to play 425 games and make 104 starts in the next five seasons.
Chicago fired Thibodeaux in 2016 and the Timberwolves hired the 65-year-old coach.
As for Gibson, he would be traded twice in 2017.
The big man averaged 11.5 points and 6.9 rebounds for his two seasons with the Timberwolves.
A native of New York City, Gibson signed with the Knicks in 2019.
Thibodeaux would become the head coach of New York in 2020 and coach Gibson for a third time.
Gibson, however, only averaged 5.3 points and 4.7 rebounds in 18.3 minutes per game in three seasons.
In 2022, Gibson played 49 games for the Wizards.
He averaged 3.4 points and 1.9 rebounds in 9.8 minutes per game, shooting 52 percent from the field.
Gibson has earned $86million from his 14 seasons in the NBA, per Spotrac.
For his career, Gibson has recorded 8,256 points and 5,570 rebounds.
