Though ban is over, Joakim Noah remains inactive for Knicks

Joakim Noah went through a long workout and then rushed off the court for a team meeting. This could be the $72-million man’s game-night routine for the foreseeable future.

Noah has been on the inactive list both games he’s been eligible to play and that doesn’t seem it will change anytime soon.

“With the amount of centers we can’t even really find a lot of minutes for Willy [Hernangomez],” coach Jeff Hornacek said. “We’ll just have to play it by ear and see where it goes.”

Noah was suspended the first 12 games of the season, as he completed serving his 20-game ban levied last season for violating the NBA’s anti-drug policy.
