What's next for Joakim Noah, Bulls after season-ending shoulder surgery

Joakim Noah tipped once, then twice before yelling out in joy as he converted on a Jimmy Butler miss in the third quarter of a rousing Bulls comeback in Philadelphia, as they recovered from being down 24 for a win.

The next night, he yelled out in agony as his left shoulder popped out again after being tangled with JaVale McGee in the second quarter, with expletives not far behind, running to the locker room.

Surgery isn’t far behind now, as Noah will undergo a procedure to repair the dislocated shoulder, ending his season and possibly career with the Bulls as he’ll be an unrestricted free agent this summer.
