Knicks center Joakim Noah skipped a team dinner with cadets on Thursday night because he’s anti-war, he told reporters on Friday.

The team is currently holding camp at West Point, as they’ve done in the past few years. Noah said that he just doesn’t feel comfortable at the military academy where the dinner was held.

Judging from this video released by the team, it seems as if every player was present except for Noah:

The 31-year-old veteran signed a four-year, $72 million deal to join the Knicks over the off-season after spending the first eight seasons of his career with the Bulls.
