Noah Will Return vs. Raptors

Wednesday, March 25

K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reported Noah would return against the Raptors on Wednesday.

On March 23, Friedell revealed Noah would sit against Charlotte "because of general soreness." He added further details:

Over the course of the season, superstars Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler and Taj Gibson have all dealt with major injuries. Chicago will be happy to have Noah back in the fold as it looks to get healthy for the postseason.

Noah is a two-way threat as one of the best defenders in the entire league and a rare pass-first center who directs much of Chicago's offense with impressive ball movement from the top of the key.

If Chicago hopes to challenge for a spot in the NBA Finals, it needs to get back to full health.
