Noah's sore knee not enough to keep him out vs. Nets

Back-to-back? Not a problem.
Joakim Noah will be active Wednesday as the Chicago Bulls visit the Brooklyn Nets.
The veteran center had been a game-time decision after leaving Tuesday's season-opening win over the Cleveland Cavaliers with a knee contusion.
The New York native said Tuesday he wanted to play in Brooklyn, and was a last-minute call after warming up.
While the sample size is small, Noah, who came off the bench Tuesday, had a mixed bag in a sixth-man role in new coach Fred Hoiberg's system. The defensive ace grabbed nine rebounds, but was held scoreless in 17 minutes. He did dish out four assists.
