Noel (knee) will play in Tuesday's matchup with the Pelicans, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis:

Noel will return to the court after missing the last seven games due to a bone bruise in his right knee. The big man will come off the bench for the 76ers and be on a 20-minute restriction. He'll split time with veteran Elton Brand, who grabs the start at center on Tuesday night.
