Nerlens Noel (knee) has been downgraded to doubtful for Saturday's game against the Blazers

Noel (knee) has been downgraded to doubtful for Saturday's game against the Blazers, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis:

A right knee bruise kept Noel out of Wednesday's game in Denver, and he appears on track to miss a second straight contest Saturday night. Should that be the case, Carl Landry would likely make another start in the frontcourt alongside Jerami Grant, as was the case versus the Nuggets.
