Rimside Brief
Taj Gibson, a forward who spent 17 seasons in the NBA, has announced his retirement and will immediately begin a new chapter as an assistant coach with the Chicago Bulls. His lengthy playing career gives him a deep understanding of the league’s demands, which the Bulls hope to translate into coaching insight.
The Bulls are currently 31–51, sitting at #12 in the Eastern Conference and ranked #22 in overall power. With a two‑game losing streak, a 2–8 record in their last ten games, and a net rating of –5.1, the team is in a rebuilding phase. Adding Gibson to the staff provides a veteran perspective that could aid player development and help the organization address its recent performance challenges as it looks ahead to the next season.
