Knicks' Joakim Noah inactive for first game back from suspension

New York Knicks center Joakim Noah is not active for Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

What It Means:

Noah has officially served his 20-game suspension, but he won't be active tonight as the team works him back slowly. He struggled when he was on the floor last season, and despite being named a team captain, the 32-year-old may not have a big role in the Knicks' rotation when he does return to action.

numberFire's models project Noah for 4.9 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 20.4 minutes per game this season.
