According to the report, Noah will need four to six months to rehabilitate the shoulder, an injury that comes in the aftermath of a 20-game NBA suspension for a banned supplement.

Noah, 32, has had trouble for years with his shoulder, and it necessitated surgery. He underwent arthroscopic knee surgery in January, and the league allowed the Knicks to start his suspension over the final eight games of the regular season.

Noah will be suspended for the first 12 games that doctors deem him healthy to be activated next season.
