Joakim Noah Separated His Shoulder Against The Mavericks Friday Night

Things went from bad to worse for Bulls center Joakim Noah when he dislocated his shoulder Friday night against the Mavs. After getting tangled up with JaVale McGee going for a rebound early in the second quarter, the former Defensive Player of the Year could be heard yelling profanities as he headed straight for the locker room.

This latest injury only adds to the mounting frustration for Noah this season as he’s struggled to regain his All-Star form while accepting a significantly diminished role in Chicago’s rotation. His name has also been floated around in trade rumors in recent weeks. Noah injured the same shoulder earlier in the season and missed nine games because of it, but there was no word yet just how long he might be sidelined this time around.
