New York's Nerlens Noel (ankle) game-time decision for Thursday's contest against Kings

According to head coach Tom Thibodeau, New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (ankle) is a game-time decision for Thursday's contest against the Sacramento Kings.

What It Means:

Noel is a game-time decision after New York's center recently experienced left ankle soreness. Expect Taj Gibson to log more minutes in a fast tempo matchup against a Sacramento unit playing with a 101.0 pace if Noel is ruled out on Thursday.

Noel's current projection includes 6.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 1.2 assists.
