ANALYSIS: Earlier this week rumors were swirling that the 76ers had interest in bringing back Nerlens Noel to back up their All-Star center Joel Embiid. After the Sixers signed Dwight Howard once free agency opened up, their interest in Nerlens likely went away.

Noel will now sign a one-year deal with the New York Knicks worth $5M, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
