Chicago center Joakim Noah sat out the Bulls' game Saturday night against Houston because of a left foot injury.

The 6-foot-11 Noah was a last-minute scratch from the starting lineup after scoring 19 points in 25 minutes Friday night in a 115-104 victory in Phoenix. Noah had started all of Chicago's previous 41 games this season.

Noah is the Bulls' leading rebounder (12.3 per game) and fourth-leading scorer (11.3 points per game). Brad Miller started in place of Noah against the Rockets.
