Noah was waived by the Clippers on Tuesday and is "likely headed toward retirement," Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
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, his prime was excellent. He made one All-NBA team, three All-Defense teams and was selected as the 2013-14 Defensive Player of the Year, also coming in fourth in MVP voting that season. In 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. If he retires before this season, he'll finish with the 75th most offensive rebounds (2,141) in NBA history.

Noah finished with four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 FT), five rebounds and three assists during Wednesday's scrimmage against the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
In his first game with the Clippers, Noah got the start at center with Ivica Zubac unavailable. The veteran saw 15 minutes of action in his first NBA game since March of 2019. Assuming Noah appears in a playoff game for the Clips, it'll be his first postseason action since 2015.

Noah is set to sign with the Clippers for the remainder of the 2019-20 season, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Noah's 10-day contract was set to expire June 23, but the Clippers have decided to keep him around despite the veteran not appearing in a game for the club. Should he make his debut at some point, it would mark Noah's first action of the campaign.

Noah (Not Injury Related) will not be active for Tuesday's matchup with the Warriors, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Noah traveled with the team to Golden State, but his debut will have to wait. His next chance to suit up with the Clippers for the first time will come Friday against the Nets.

Noah (not injury related) will travel with the team ahead of Tuesday's game against Golden State, though it's unclear if he'll play, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Noah has yet to practice with the team, so while he may technically be available for Tuesday's clash, the team could hold him out until Friday against the Nets. An update should come closer to tipoff.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Noah is expected to work out for the Clippers this week, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Noah is expected to work out for the Lakers in the coming days, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Noah (knee) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Noah's sore right knee cost him the 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.

Noah (knee) will remain out for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran will miss an eighth consecutive game with a sore knee, and with the Grizzlies on the first night of a back-to-back, we've probably seen the last of Noah for this season.
