Center Joakim Noah will be retiring from the National Basketball Association after 13 years, according to a report from Shams Charania of ‘Stadium’ and ‘The Athletic.’

After being waived by the Los Angeles Clippers in December, the 36-year-old Noah remains unsigned. The report says Noah plans to retire with the Chicago Bulls, the team he was with for the first nine seasons of his career, and where he had his best years. He later spent two seasons with the New York Knicks and time with the Memphis Grizzlies and Clippers.

Hawks Fire Head Coach

The Atlanta Hawks fired head coach Lloyd PIerce on Monday, with the news coming the day after the Hawks lost to the Miami Heat 109-99 for a 14-20 record, suffering their 11th loss after having a fourth-quarter lead. His overall record with the Hawks was 63-120 after being hired in 2018. Former Indiana Pacers head coach Nate McMillan, who joined Pierce's staff ahead of this season, was elevated to interim coach.

Raptors Game Postponed

A second consecutive Toronto Raptors game was postponed Monday due to Covid concerns, with the game against the Detroit Pistons tentatively rescheduled for tonight.

The Raptors’ scheduled game against the Chicago Bulls this past Sunday was postponed indefinitely because of Toronto’s positive tests and contract tracing issues. Monday's game was the 31st in the NBA postponed so far this season due to coronavirus issues.
