Joakim Noah: 'No problem with Kendrick Perkins'

Joakim Noah has insisted that he has no problem with Kendrick Perkins following reports of a confrontation between the two after the Chicago Bulls lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night.

Perkins is believed to have reacted angrily when Noah entered the Thunder locker room to speak to his former teammate Thabo Sefolosha.

"Just nothing. Just trying to chill with Thabo. It's all good. It's not that serious," Noah told reporters. "Nothing happened. It's no big deal.

"I shouldn't have been in that locker room in the first place. Just wanted to say hi to some loved ones, Thabo's family, that's it.

"It's not a big deal. Perk is an angry dude. It's all good."

Noah scored 23 points in the 107-95 defeat.
