Joakim Noah: Waived, likely retiring
The Clippers waived Joakim Noah on Tuesday, and the veteran center is "likely headed toward retirement," Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.Noah has struggled to stay healthy and find a role late in his career, appearing in just 129 games over the past five seasons. That said, he was excellent during his prime years in Chicago, making one All-NBA team, three All-Defense teams and earning 2013-14 Defensive Player of the Year honors while also coming in fourth in MVP voting. Between his two All-Star seasons, Noah averaged 12.3 points, 11.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.2 steals in 35.9 minutes.

Joakim Noah: Signing with Clippers
Joakim Noah will sign with the Clippers and is expected to join the team next week, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. The deal will start as a 10-day contract.Noah appeared in 42 games for the Grizzlies last season, averaging 7.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 16.5 minutes. In joining the Clippers, he'll presumably act as a depth option behind Montrezl Harrell and Ivica Zubac most nights. Noah does bring some passing ability to the table, which neither Harrell or Zubac are known for. However, from a fantasy perspective, Noah joining the Clippers probably doesn't result in anything actionable outside of the very deepest of leagues.

Joakim Noah: To work out with Clippers
Joakim Noah is expected to work out for the Clippers this week, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.Noah was in the running for a roster spot with the Lakers last month, but the team ultimately opted to go with Dwight Howard in the wake of DeMarcus Cousins' torn ACL. Now, Los Angeles' other team has interest in the veteran center, who acquitted himself well in a resurgent half-season with the Grizzlies in 2018-19. If the Clippers were to sign Noah, it would likely be for depth purposes, but the 34-year-old put up impressive averages of 7.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.2 blocks/steals in just 16.5 minutes per game a year ago.

Joakim Noah: Getting a look from Lakers
Joakim Noah is expected to work out for the Lakers in the coming days, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.Per Wojnarowski, the Lakers are considering a number of veteran centers to fill the void left by DeMarcus Cousins (knee), with Noah, Dwight Howard, Mo Speights and Marcin Gortat all in consideration. While Howard is the most accomplished of the four, Noah would be an interesting fit in Los Angeles, given his two-way skill set as a defender and distributor. The 34-year-old's best years are behind him, but he had a surprisingly resurgent campaign in Memphis last season, appearing in 42 games and averaging 7.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists in just over 16 minutes per contest.

Grizzlies' Joakim Noah: Sitting out season finale
Joakim Noah (knee) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.Noah's sore right knee cost him the Memphis Grizzlies' final nine games of the season, but the veteran center probably performed well enough prior to being shut down to generate renewed interest around the league as he heads into free agency this summer. While teams won't promise Noah anything more than a backup role, the 34-year-old made an impact in that capacity over 42 games with Memphis. He wraps up the 2018-19 campaign with averages of 7.1 points (on 51.6 percent shooting from the field), 5.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 0.7 blocks in 16.5 minutes per game.
