Noah is the first year of a four-year deal worth $72 million. He is averaging 5.0 points, 8.8 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per game. Noah had missed several games before the All-Star break due to a hamstring injury. His last game was a six-minute performance in a loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Feb. 4.
Willy Hernangomez and Kyle O'Quinn are expected to see more playing time in Noah's absence.
