Joakim Noah To Have MRI On Sprained Right Ankle
(CBS) Bulls big man Joakim Noah will have an MRI on his sprained right ankle and miss both games this weekend, the Chicago Tribune reported.
Noah injured the ankle in the final seconds of the first half of Wednesday's loss to the Wizards. He's had problems with the same ankle on multiple occasions this season.
"I've had worse ankle injuries," Noah said, according to the Tribune. "It is what it is. I sprained my ankle. I'll be out for a little bit. Put my work in and get back to the court as soon as I can. I hope it's a short absence."
Noah has also been limited by complications from arthroscopic left knee surgery last May. He's averaging 7.6 points -- his fewest since 2008-'09 -- and 9.4 rebounds.
The Bulls are on the road to face the Celtics tonight and host the Hawks on Saturday night.
