According to Earl K. Sneed, Nerlens Noel will miss 4-6 weeks with a thumb injury.
He will have surgery on the injured thumb in Cleveland, with the hope being that he can return to basketball activities before this year’s trade deadline.
Rick Carlisle says Nerlens Noel will have surgery on his left thumb, and will be out “several weeks.”
