Daniel Gibson started and had 17 points, a steal, two blocks and two 3-pointers on 6-of-11 shooting in his return from a neck injury Tuesday.
He'd been out for the last five and had started just one game this season. His return hurt Alonzo Gee, but he still got 32 minutes, finishing with seven points, three boards, three assists and a 3-pointer on 2-of-8 shooting. If Gibson can keep the starting job once Anthony Parker (back, day-to-day) returns, he'll be worth picking up in many leagues.

Daniel Gibson (neck) is in the starting lineup for the Cavs on Wednesday.
This comes as a surprise given that Gibson has started just one game all year (and missed the last five with a neck injury), but apparently Byron Scott is looking for a spark. Alonzo Gee's value takes a hit here, but Gee (14.8 points per game in his last five) should still get plenty of run off the bench.

Daniel Gibson (neck) is a game-time decision for Wednesday.
The Cavs tip off at 7 p.m. ET, so we should have an answer relatively soon. Gibson has missed five straight games due to the injury.

Coach Byron Scott did not express long-term concern over Daniel Gibson's neck issue.
Gibson won't play against the Heat on Tuesday, but it sounds like that's just a precaution. Boobie's neck remains "a little stiff," so he'll sit and then be reevaluated on Wednesday. Gibson remains someone to keep on the deep-league radar with Anthony Parker (back) still out.

Daniel Gibson (neck) will not play on Tuesday against the Heat after a report earlier in the day had him playing in the contest.
Gibson's absence will help the Cavs continue to showcase Ramon Sessions, and also benefit Alonzo Gee in his attempt to solidify his value this week.

Daniel Gibson (neck) will play in Tuesday's game against the Heat.
Gibson has missed four straight games after a scary soft tissue infection caused him to be hospitalized. However, he's stepping back into an excellent situation for production. Anthony Parker (back) remains out and Mychel Thompson has flopped as the starting shooting guard. Gibson is making 1.7 3-pointers per game on the year despite averaging just 25.1 minutes per game.

Cavaliers' team doctors want to re-evaluate Daniel Gibson (neck) before determining when he can return.
Gibson's status is something of a mystery, as he's recovering from a 'soft tissue infection' in his neck and was hospitalized in Boston last week. Mychel Thompson has been bad in three starts at SG in his absence, and Cleveland badly needs either Gibson or Anthony Parker (back) to return to the rotation.

Daniel Gibson (neck) will miss another game on Saturday.
Gibson has missed four straight games and remains day-to-day, as he recovers from an infection in his neck. Mychel Thompson started at SG last game but it's Alonzo Gee and Ramon Sessions who get the most notable boost in fantasy leagues.

Daniel Gibson (neck) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Magic.
This will be the third straight game Gibson will miss for the Cavs and he should remain on deep-league owners' benches until he can get healthy.

Daniel Gibson (neck) and Tristan Thompson (ankle) both remain day-to-day for the Cavs.
Gibson attended practice but did not participate, putting his status for Friday night's game against Orlando in jeopardy. He has an increased range of motion in his neck, but the team will be cautious in how it handles his condition.
