Joakim Noah to Have Shoulder Surgery; Expected to Miss 4-6 Months

Friday night might have signaled the end of Joakim Noah’s time as a member of the Chicago Bulls.

Noah suffered a left shoulder dislocation against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday after missing almost a month prior when he initially suffered the shoulder injury on Dec. 21 against the Brooklyn Nets.

The Bulls released a statement on Noah’s status and the worst diagnosis was realized.
