Chicago, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah will be shut down for at least one week due to a groin injury.
Noah initially suffered the injury in the first week of training camp. He returned to game action Wednesday night against the Pistons in a preseason contest.
"We're going to shut Jo down. He's got a little soreness (in his groin) so we want to make sure we get that taken care of," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said Friday.
