Joakim Noah missed practice for the second straight time on Sunday as he attends to a personal matter, Bulls coach oach Tom Thibodeau said.
Thibodeau said it's unclear whether Noah will play in Tuesday's preseason opener against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Bulls' coach did say Noah could return Monday to practice, which will take place at the United Center so that players can get acclimated to the building.
Earlier in training camp, Noah said the severely sprained left ankle that ended his playoffs last May felt "great." The Bulls' center and emotional leader is well-versed in Thibodeau's system, so his return should be seamless once it occurs.
