Thunder's Taj Gibson: Will play, start Sunday vs. Hornets

Gibson (illness) will play and start in Sunday's game against the Hornets, Royce Young of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

Gibson was held out of Friday's game against the Spurs because of an illness, but was never expected to miss much time and has officially been cleared for a return to the court. He'll rejoin the starting five at power forward and should see a full complement of minutes, which also sends Domantas Sabonis back to the bench in the corresponding move.
