Joakim Noah

Joakim Noah (ankle) doubtful for Knicks Thursday

New York Knicks forward/center Joakim Noah (ankle) is not expected to play on Thursday versus the Washington Wizards.

What It Means:

Noah sat out on Wednesday and will receive an MRI Thursday morning to evaluate his ailing ankle. Kyle O'Quinn, Willy Hernangomez and Marshall Plumlee are all helping fill the void up front, but inconsistent production hurts their fantasy appeal.

Noah is averaging 5.6 points, 9.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 23.1 minutes per game this season. He currently ranks 127th in the NBA with a 0.3 nERD.
