The New York Knicks have released center Joakim Noah with two years and $38 million remaining on his contract. Noah has been away from the team since clashing with former coach Jeff Hornacek last season. Unable to find a trade, the Knicks had to cut Noah by Monday to get down to a 15-man roster. The 33-year-old Noah, who signed for his hometown team in 2016, finished with an average of 4.6 points and 7.9 rebounds with New York. The Chicago Bulls selected Noah with the ninth overall pick in the 2007 draft. While with the Bulls he was named NBA's Defensive Player of the Year in 2014.
