Joakim Noah sat out most of the second half in Sunday’s victory at Orlando. He played just 18 minutes, while Taj Gibson logged 30.

“He’s got to do better and he’s capable,” coach Tom Thibodeau said of Noah. “We need him to play better and he will.”

Noah still isn’t completely healthy after suffering a sprained right ankle on March 28 against Philadelphia.

“I’m so used to helping inside and trying to protect the paint. I have to realize when playing against shooters I cannot give any space,” Noah said after the Orlando game, according to bulls.com. “I made a lot of mistakes. I’m supposed to run them off shots and I haven’t been able to do that. I’m not where I want to be.”
