Bulls' Joakim Noah Set To Return Against Wizards

(CBS) Bulls big man Joakim Noah will return Monday night against the Wizards, coach Fred Hoiberg said, after missing the past nine games with a left shoulder sprain.

Noah won't be on a minutes limit, Hoiberg said, and he's expected to come off the bench alongside rookie forward Bobby Portis on the second unit. Nikola Mirotic is expected to continue starting at small forward.

The Bulls went 7-2 with Noah out. He's averaging 4.5 points and 8.8 rebounds in a reduced role this season that's seen him come off the bench.
