Noah's recent MRI confirmed he has a sprained left ankle and he'll sit out Thursday's game against the Wizards, Al Iannazzone of Newsday Sports reports.
Despite not being able to take the court Thursday, this is still good news for Noah, as he's avoided a more serious issue with his ankle. In his absence, Kyle O'Quinn could draw another start, although he posted two points, one rebound and an assist over just 10 minutes during Wednesday's spot start. Marshall Plumlee and Willy Hernangomez each notched 20 minutes off the bench, outpacing O'Quinn's 10, so they both stand to pick up some added time as well. There's also a chance the Knicks opt to use Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) at center in his return and keep Carmelo Anthony at power forward.
