Joakim Noah

Bulls' Joakim Noah (knee) practices in full Tuesday

Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah (knee) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice, and he's on track to suit up for Wednesday's preseason game vs. the Detroit Pistons.

What It Means:

Noah's bruised right knee wasn't considered serious from the get-go, and his speedy recovery is encouraging. The one concern, however, is that Nikola Mirotic is angling to snag his starting job. Considering this and that Noah appeared in just 67 games last season, he will be a risky fantasy play for the 2015-16 NBA season.

Our preseason projections believe Noah will be just the 41st best center in fantasy this year, with only 671 points despite likely more than 2,200 minutes on the court.
