Joakim Noah’s plantar fasciitis in his left foot just won’t go away, and the Chicago Bulls have decided to sit him down for the next three weeks to give it some more time to heal.  After missing seven straight games in February for the injury, Noah attempted to play through it and contribute what he could to the Bulls.  That little experiment only lasted three games though, even though his minutes were limited.  After playing just 7 and 12 minutes in the first two games back, the Bulls put him out there for 27 minutes in a win against Portland last Friday.  In that game Noah had 8 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 assists, but the next game he could not go.  After missing the past two games, the Bulls have now decided to keep him out for the next three weeks to see if the plantar fasciitis can get any better before the playoffs.  I think this is the right move by the Bulls, since they are going to need Noah in the playoffs since he is their leading rebounder (11.4 rpg), shot blocker (1.56 bpg), and emotional leader.  I’m not sure why the Bulls even tried to play Noah since it may have set his recovery back, but now that they have shut him down hopefully he will be healthy enough for the playoffs.
