Knicks' Joakim Noah: Leaves early with hamstring issue

Noah (hamstring) left Saturday's game against the Cavaliers due to a sore left hamstring and he was unable to return.

Analysis:

Noah appeared to be trending upward recently, posting 4.7 points, 9.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game in January, season highs in the latter two categories for a single month. If Noah is to miss any time look for Willy Hernangomez to see a bump in playing time, with Kyle O'Quinn also factoring in. Kristaps Porzingis might also see some additional time in the middle.
