Knicks' Jeff Hornacek says exiled center Joakim Noah will not be back with the team
We've moved on. He's ready to move on and maybe have an opportunity somewhere else," Hornacek said
Knicks head coach Jeff Hornacek confirmed that Joakim Noah won’t re-join the team anytime soon.
The Knicks are considering whether to use the stretch provision on the big man who has two year remaining on his contract.
Per ESPN, "We've moved on. He's ready to move on and maybe have an opportunity somewhere else," Hornacek said following the Knicks' first practice after the All-Star break.
If the Knicks choose to waive Noah using the stretch provision, the franchise would owe him $7.5 million over five seasons, as opposed to $18.5 million in 2018-19 and $19.3 million in the final year of his contract. Stretching Noah's contract would cut into New York's cap space in summers in which the organization is hopeful of landing top free agents.
