Joakim Noah - F/C - Bulls

Joakim Noah will reportedly undergo thumb surgery and could miss as much as 10 weeks.
There's still a slim chance surgery could be delayed, but the team is expected to formally announce it on Thursday. Taj Gibson will become relevant again and Omer Asik could get some run, while Carlos Boozer should be even better. Dec. 15 - 8:35 p.m. ET

Rajon Rondo - G - Celtics

Rajon Rondo sprained his left ankle Wednesday against the Celtics and went straight to the locker room.
It was "badly rolled" according to the broadcast and Twitter is buzzing about the potential severity of the injury. Rondo was having a strange night to begin with, bickering with Kevin Garnett and appearing reluctant to come back into the game just before getting injured. If you have space on your roster, Nate Robinson should be picked up for now. Dec. 15 - 9:10 p.m. ET
