Apparently the Chicago Bulls don't know how to spell.

And that wouldn't be so bad if they had misspelled, say, onomatopoeia. That's a really hard word to spell.

The name was close, but still no cigar, per Mike McGraw of the Daily Herald.

The explanation could be that the staff that handles these kinds of things is new, so they're not used to spelling his name on a daily basis. But a quick Google search fixes that.

To be fair, Noah is on the inactive list. But still, the Bulls should know better.

Or maybe this is all a ploy to be disrecptpful to Noah on the down low…
