Dealing with plantar fasciitis Noel went unused off the bench in Sunday's loss to the 76ers for the second game in a row while he continues to deal with plantar fasciitis, Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News... Impact Noel missed five straight games due to a left foot injury ahead of the All-Star break, but the Knicks removed him from the injury report for both of the team's first two games of the second half. However, Noel looks like he might have only been available in an emergency, given that Ian Begley of SportsNet New York relays that the center's injury dates back to his last appearance Feb. 7 in Utah. Noel will get some extended time off to rest in advance of the Knicks' next game Wednesday in Philadelphia, but if he remains bothered by the injury, Jericho Sims is likely to stick in the rotation as the primary backup to Mitchell Robinson.
