Fred Katz: Thibodeau said Nerlens Noel is technically available but “I want him to get through some practices first before we throw him back in there. At this point, what you don’t want is you’re in for a game and out for a game, in for a game, out for a game. So I want him to get healthy.” -via Twitter @FredKatz / February 27, 2022
