Nerlens Noel

C, Oklahoma City Thunder

Nerlens Noel (ankle) will miss Friday's scrimmage against the Celtics.

In all likelihood, the Thunder are exercising caution with Noel. He has been practicing this week without any lingering issues from the ankle issue that popped up a week ago. He's going to be a strong source of steals and blocks from the center position, but he will be limited to his 18.4 mpg average as long as Steven Adams is also taking the court.
