While cases of the coronavirus in Florida continue to rise, the NBA is moving forward with their plans to finish the 2020 NBA season starting at the end of next month in Orlando, Florida, Most teams are scheduled to be back in their home markets starting on June 23, with the exception of the Toronto Raptors, who will be going to Florida next week. But there are plenty of decisions to come and a transaction window coming up, where the Los Angeles Clippers have made a signing to solidify their championship hopes.
The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported on Saturday that the Clippers will sign Joakim Noah for the remainder of the season. The Clippers signed Noah to a 10-day contract just before the NBA shut down in March.
Noah gives the Clippers some much-needed depth at the center position, helping provide some insurance behind Ivica Zubac and 6th Man of the Year contender Montrezl Harrell. He’s also a long-time LeBron agitator, dating back to LeBron’s Miami days. That will be especially key against the Lakers, who have Anthony Davis, as well as Dwight Howard and JaVale McGee in support of him.
