Injury Report
Shoulder - Out for Game 6 of playoff series vs. Boston (Updated - 5/15/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Gibson will be a restricted free agent this offseason. He appeared in 58 games during the regular season and averaged 10.4 points, 2.5 assists and 2.3 rebounds. He missed a good amount of time this season with ankle injuries and lost his starting job. He'll likely be re-signed by the Cavs, but it will be interesting to see what the team does with Delonte West -- also a restricted free agent -- in the offseason. He stands to be a handcuff for Gibson's Fantasy value, which stands to be pretty good as a third year breakout candidate. (Updated 05/15/2008).
