Noah needs shoulder surgery, out 4-6 months

CHICAGO -- Bulls center Joakim Noah will undergo left shoulder surgery and is expected to be out four to six months, the team said Saturday night.

Noah dislocated his shoulder during Friday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks after getting tangled up with Mavs center JaVale McGee in the second quarter.

The Bulls said in a news release the shoulder dislocation was "reduced in the training room" Friday night and was evaluated at Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush in Chicago, where it was determined that he will undergo surgery to stabilize his left shoulder.
