 Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg told reporters on Tuesday that Noah will be
re-evaluated in two weeks. He suffered the injury when he became
tangled up with Nets cetner Andrea Bargnani during Chicago's 105-102
loss to the Brooklyn Nets.
The nine-year veteran is averaging a career-low 4.5 points per game
and shooting 40.4 percent from the field this season.
The Minnesota Timberwolves recalled rookie point guard Tyus Jones
from Idaho of the NBA Development League on Tuesday.
The 19-year-old Jones, a first-round selection from Duke by the
Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2015 NBA Draft before a trade, averaged
24.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.5 steals for the
Stampede in six games. He shot 48.7 percent from the field and 42.6
percent from 3-point range.
Jones has played in two games for the Timberwolves this season and
averaged 0.5 points and 6.9 minutes.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL
The Hawaii men's basketball was placed on a one-year postseason ban
for next season, stripped of two scholarships the next two seasons
and faces a three-year probation for ethics violations by a former
coach.
The NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions announced the sanctions
on Tuesday after former coach Gib Arnold was determined to have
breached conduct rules by failing to promote an atmosphere of
compliance and provided misleading information during a yearlong
investigation.
Arnold received a three-year show-cause penalty that extends through
Dec. 21, 2018. He coached the Rainbow Warriors to a 72-55 overall
record in four seasons before he was ousted in October 2014. Former
assistant Brandyn Akana also received a two-year show-cause penalty.
---Southern Miss and former head coach Donnie Tyndall will appear
before the NCAA committee on infractions in January.
CBS Sports reported the meeting would be held in Indianapolis on
Jan. 21. Southern Miss self-imposed postseason bans in 2015 and
2016.
The NCAA rendered seven Level I violations against Southern Miss,
including fraudulent academic credit and impermissible financial
aid. Tyndall was Southern Miss coach from 2012 to 2014. Tennessee
self-reported to the NCAA a secondary violation that occurred during
the lone season Tyndall spent with the program. He committed at
least one Level II/Level III NCAA violation with the Volunteers, the
Knoxville News-Sentinel reported Tuesday. Tyndall was fired on March
27 by the university.
