Knicks' Joakim Noah: Minimal impact Tuesday in Knicks debut

Noah failed to score a point, missing his only field goal attempt, while adding six rebounds, three assists and a steal in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 117-88 loss to the Cavaliers.

Analysis:

It wasn't exactly an impressive Knicks debut for Noah, who might not be quite in peak condition yet after dealing with lower-body injuries during the preseason. Even at 100 percent though, his main contributions will come in defensive stats, as the team's offense flows primarily through Carmelo Anthony, Derrick Rose and Kristaps Porzingis.
