Joakim Noah is set to return from his 20-game suspension next week. In 46 games last year, he scored five points per game and added 8.8 rebounds while averaging 22 minutes per game. (Ian Begley of ESPN)
Fantasy Impact:
There's still uncertainty about how he'll factor into the rotation when he returns. Either way, the corresponding move to Noah's return will likely be a trade of Mindaugas Kuzminskas, as reported by Ian Begley. Kuzminskas hasn't been active for a single game yet this season, but Noah will impact playing time for the other bigs on the roster. Enes Kanter's 25.5 minutes seem relatively safe. Kyle O'Quinn, on the other hand, has appeared in every game this year. He is averaging 16-plus minutes and could see a drop in minutes when Noah is back.
