Knicks will be without Joakim Noah versus Wizards
New York Knicks center Joakim Noah has a sprained ankle and will not play on Thursday versus the Washington Wizards.
What It Means:
Noah missed Wednesday's game as well and is without a timetable for his return. We would expect him to be doubtful to play Saturday versus the Phoenix Suns as well. Kyle O'Quinn started in Noah's place on Wednesday, but Willy Hernangomez benefited the most with 17 points and 11 rebounds in 20 minutes. Kristaps Porzingis will also play on Thursday and should take a few minutes at the five spot as well.
In five starts this year, O'Quinn has averaged 7.2 points and 7.2 rebounds in 20.0 minutes per game.
