Analysis:

Noah has missed the Bulls' last nine games, but it seems as if he's nearing a return. Coach Fred Hoiberg said Noah will go through some contact work on Sunday and Monday, which will dictate whether or not he feels good enough to play against the Wizards. For now, consider him questionable for that outing and we should see his status updated at some point on Monday morning.
