Nerlens Noel’s return to the New York Knicks’ lineup will have to wait for at least one more game. Keith Smith confirmed that the journeyman forward would miss Saturday night’s contest due to deconditioning. Noel joins Evan Fournier and Kemba Walker on the sidelines against the Boston Celtics. A thigh bruise will keep Fournier from participating while Walker is dealing with a knee injury.

Walker and Fournier rank third and fourth in team scoring, averaging 13.6 and 13.
