Joakim Noah: Could miss next three games

Noah already sat out Monday’s loss to the Lakers with a strained left hamstring,
the same injury that sidelined him for more contests in the preseason. The
center indicated that the hamstring setback, which he suffered in the first
quarter of Saturday’s loss to the Cavaliers, is comparable in severity to the
injury he suffered in the preseason, so it’s once again expected that he’ll be
in line for a multi-game absence. That would likely afford some additional run
for Kyle O’Quinn, who started in Noah’s place Monday, and Willy Hernangomez at
center. O’Quinn put up 10 points, two rebounds and one assist in 16 minutes
Monday, while Hernangomez accrued eight points, 13 boards, two steals, one
assist and one block in 24 minutes.
