Joakim Noah has been suspended by the NBA for 20 games for his violation of the anti-drug program. Noah tested positive for an unknown over-the-counter drug which is prohibited under the CBA. Noah will be suspended for the final 10 games of this season and the first 10 games next season. Willy Hernangomez will see starts down the stretch and likely open as the starting center next season.

Fantasy Impact:

Noah's first season in New York was a total disaster missing games with injuries and now being suspended for 20 games. Noah posted career-lows in scoring with just 4.3 points per game on just 38 percent shooting. Noah's status for next season remains to be seen. Even if he stays in New York, Kristaps Porzingis and Willy Hernangomez will see plenty of minutes at center.
