Joakim Noah‘s stint with the New York Knicks unceremoniously ended in October, when the organization waived his $18.53 million salary for 2018-19 and stretched his remaining $19.29 million owed for 2019-20. This cleared a roster spot and allowed the team to move on.
On Dec. 4, after waiting two months, Noah signed a one-year deal for the minimum salary with the Memphis Grizzlies. He slid into a backup center role.
In an appearance on “The Chris Vernon Show,” Noah not only spoke on his time with the Grizzlies, but the reason everything did not happen as planned in New York: too much partying in the Big Apple.
