Noah Expected To Return In One Week
The Chicago Bulls have been without center Joakim Noah since he underwent hand surgery in the middle of December. Noah's return in a week will be a big lift for a Bulls team already at the top of the conference.
"Unless they pull some crazy surprise...and drop him on us on Thursday," K.C. Johnson, of the Chicago Tribune, said of Noah's expected to return to the lineup on February 23. "But I think that would be a huge mistake...They've been talking about that date for so long that that's the date that I'm assuming it's going to happen. And that's the date that Joakim and everybody else on the team has pointed to as well."
