Daniel Gibson (ankle) is day-to-day after x-rays taken after Monday's game were negative.
Gibson's status should be considered questionable going forward. If he is forced to miss any time, Anthony Parker should see a slight increase in minutes but won't be worth consideration in the majority of fantasy formats.

Daniel Gibson left Monday's game in the second half due to an undisclosed injury, finishing with four points on 1-of-5 shooting, two rebounds, and one assist in 17 minutes.
We'll pass along the injury information as soon as it becomes available. Anthony Parker could get some extra run if Gibson misses any time, as could undrafted newcomer Donald Sloan. Neither will be worth fantasy consideration in most formats.

Daniel Gibson started the second half at shooting guard Sunday so he didn't have to match up with the 6-8 Tracy McGrady on the second unit.

Daniel Gibson started the second half on Sunday, but finished the game with just three points (on 1-of-6 shooting), eight rebounds and two assists.
Starter Anthony Parker was benched in favor of Gibson to start the second half and finished with six points in 33 minutes of action. Gibson would be more of an attractive option if he was moved into the starting lineup permanently, but it remains to be seen if coach Byron Scott will make that move. As it is, unless you are in need of a three-point specialist, it's best to find other options.

Cavs GM Chris Grant named Daniel Gibson as a candidate to pick up backup point guard minutes.
The Cavs unloaded Ramon Sessions and didn't acquire another point guard. Gibson was already playing 24.4 minutes as the backup shooting guard and is now line for a little boost. There's some upside here for deep-leaguers in need of 3-pointers.

Daniel Gibson hit 8-of-16 shots and five 3-pointers on his way to 18 points, two rebounds, a steal and a block on 6-of-11 shooting in Wednesday's loss to the Bucks.
Gibson simply got hot tonight and couldn't miss from downtown. He's always worth keeping an eye on, but isn't worth grabbing unless he starts performing well consistently.

Daniel Gibson scored eight points off the bench on Friday, hitting 3-of-7 shots from the field (including two threes) with seven assists and two blocks in 30 minutes.
Gibson had the extra assists because he played backup point guard with Kyrie Irving (illness) out, but the reason to watch him is Byron Scott's dissatisfaction with the current lineup and rotation. Anthony Parker will probably hold his starting job, but if he doesn't then Gibson is the favorite to step in.

Daniel Gibson (ankle) is starting at shooting guard in Tuesday's game against the Pistons.
Gibson will be backed up by Alonzo Gee, Ramon Sessions and Manny Harris. In five starts earlier this year, Gibson averaged 11.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.8 3-pointers per game. Owners looking for a spot-start in this short week could certainly do worse. Just note that Anthony Parker (back) is expected to return after the All-Star break.
