The New York Knicks are exploring their options in parting ways with Joakim Noah.

Noah has been sent home by the Knicks following a heated verbal exchange with Jeff Hornacek at practice last week.

The confrontation was fiery but did not become physical.

The Knicks have yet to broach buyout talks with Noah, but they could pursue their options if they're unable to trade him.

Noah believes he can still play rotational minutes for a playoff team.

Noah signed a four-year, $72 million contract with the Knicks in 2016.
