Thunder's Taj Gibson: Dealing with hip soreness

Gibson dealt with some left hip soreness in Saturday's game against the Jazz, Royce Young of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

Gibson went back to the locker room during the second half of the game, but returned to bench just minutes later. It appears the Thunder may play it safe and rest the forward for the remainder of the contest, but the injury will be something to keep an eye on heading into the upcoming week. Before suffering the injury, Gibson turned in 15 points and six rebounds in 22 minutes.
