Knicks center Joakim Noah won’t be at Media Day on Monday as the Knicks center is still on the verge of being waived through the stretch provision, according to sources.
According to sources, the buyout should finally become official either Monday or Tuesday, and the Knicks’ exact cap savings will depend on how much Noah is leaving on the table. By removing Noah from the roster, the Knicks can officially sign former Columbia forward Jeff Coby to the 20-man training-camp roster.
In a similar contract, Luol Deng recently gave up $7.5 million of his package to the Lakers.
