The Feb. 3 Garden rematch between the Knicks and Memphis is no longer about David Fizdale versus Marc Gasol. It’s been replaced by Fizdale versus Joakim Noah.
Gasol, who seemed to put his Fizdale feud behind him in the first Knicks-Memphis battle, and Noah should receive heavy Garden boos, especially Noah.
The ex-Knicks center officially signed his one-year, prorated $1.7 million deal with Memphis on Tuesday, then broke his silence. He had kept quiet since being banished by the Knicks for his practice run-in with former coach Jeff Hornacek last January in Denver.
Noah was told not to show up to training camp and was waived Oct.
