Philadelphia's Nerlens Noel (knee) could miss more than originally planned 3-5 weeks

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Nerlens Noel could face longer than the originally planned 3-to-5 weeks if swelling persists in his left knee.

What It Means:

3-to-5 weeks seems to be the optimistic time frame for his return from his October 25th left knee surgery. Jahlil Okafor should see some extended run in Noel's absence.

Our models project Noel for 12.2 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in 28.3 minutes per game this season.
