Noah vs. Kuzminskas: Who Did New York Need?
As Joakim Noah returns to a surprisingly fun and competitive Knicks team, a fan favorite pays the priceEven as Phil Jackson’s successes are lighting up Madison Square Garden in Kristaps Porzingis and Frank Ntilikina, one of his most questionable moves remains on the Knicks’ 2017-18 roster with little fanfare: Joakim Noah. New York’s ineffective and injured center is fresh off a 20-game suspension, and was available for the Knicks/Cavaliers matchup on Monday night, although he did not suit up. In order to accommodate Noah on the bench, the New York front office was forced to cut a player, and unfortunately fan favorite Mindaugas Kuzminskas was on the chopping block.
