Noah (knee) practiced in full Thursday, KC Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Noah did not play Monday against the Sixers due to soreness in his left knee, but after putting in a full practice Thursday, the expectation is that he'll be ready for Friday's matchup with Charlotte. Hoiberg indicated that he'll likely stick with his same starters, based on matchups, so that means Noah will continue to come off the bench behind Nikola Mirotic.
