Gibson cleared to play against Idaho tonight
| |||
Senior point guard Matt Gibson should be in uniform when Hawai'i hosts Idaho tonight, although his role will be a game-time decision.
Gibson sat out the Rainbow Warriors' 79-62 loss at UC Riverside last Saturday due to an aggravated left knee injury. He has not practiced this week, but was cleared by team doctors yesterday afternoon.
"Because he hasn't practiced the last couple days, he hasn't been able to go over some of the things we want to do defensively," head coach Bob Nash said. "We'll see how things go (today) and if we need to use him, we'll use him."
Gibson leads the 'Bows with 16.7 points and 5.1 assists per game. He did not start in Hawai'i's 58-53 win at Idaho last month due to disciplinary reasons, but came off the bench to score 16 points.
