Noah finished Saturday's game against the Celtics on the bench due to "restrictions", the Associated Press reports.

Analysis:

Both Noah and Bulls' coach Tom Thibodeau did not elaborate on the restrictions that Noah is under, but it was discouraging that he was not able to be on the floor for the final two minutes of this game as the Bulls were trying for a comeback win. Noah scored 13 points (6-13 FG, 1-2 FT) to go along with 11 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 31 minutes, so he was very effective until he reached his playing limit. He is still a valuable fantasy asset, but he won't be able to reach his full potential until these restrictions are eliminated.
