Nerlens Noel, Taj Gibson Unavailable For Wednesday
The New York Knicks frontcourt depth will be tested in Wednesday's season opener vs. the Celtics as center Nerlens Noel (knee) and power forward/center Taj Gibson (personal) have been ruled out prior to tip-off. Noel's absence was somewhat expected after he earned a doubtful designation, but Gibson's means that Mitchell Robinson is set to have a sizable frontcourt role alongside Julius Randle. Noel is coming off having averaged a career-best 2.2 blocks per contest last year, but with Robinson entrenched as the team's starter, his season-long fantasy upside stands to take a hit. The next opportunity that Noel or Gibson have to return to action comes Friday against Orlando.
