Noah (ankle) will not play Sunday against the Heat, Joe Goodman of the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis:

Noah, who was doubtful coming into Sunday, will sit his third straight game as he nurses a nagging ankle issue. That means Taj Gibson will draw another start in the frontcourt alongside Pau Gasol. The Bulls play again Monday in Atlanta, so consider Noah questionable for that contest.
