Thunder's Taj Gibson: Misses shootaround with illness

Gibson missed the Thunder's morning shootaround due to an illness, but the team is still hoping that he can play in Friday's game against the Spurs, Brett Dawson of The Oklahoman reports.

Analysis:

The illness doesn't appear to be anything too serious for Gibson, but he will likely end up being a game-time decision and be reevaluated by team doctors closer to tip off. In the event that the starting power forward is unable to play, look for either Domantas Sabonis or Jerami Grant to enter the top unit, with both picking up increased minutes.
