Taj Gibson will wear goggles today to protect his eyelid contusion, which caused him to miss the second half of last night's game against Atlanta. Taj was barred from entering due to concerns about a more serious internal eye damage, which was not the case. He had a small contusion on his eyelid that could have been from hitting his face during the game. Gibson got into some heated battles with bigger players in the NBA and suffered multiple facial injuries over the years. Last year, he missed 26 games because of a right orbital bone fracture. Now 29, Gibson is still going strong as one of the best power forwards in the league. He averaged 16.4 points and 7.1 rebounds last season for the Bulls, who sent him to the bench after he hit puberty. The 6'9" center also has two children back home in India where he was born. Gibson started wearing goggles last year when he suffered the orbital bone fracture. He says they help him see better and avoid getting hit in the face again.
