Noah sat out Monday's practice in order to rest his ankles, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Noah has been dealing with a nagging ankle injury of late, but it hasn't affected his workload, as he's played 32 or more minutes in each of the Bulls' last five games. Expect that trend to continue Wednesday against Brooklyn, as Noah's absence Monday is likely just a precaution.
