About this Article

Nazr Mohammed is 35 years old and a 14-year NBA veteran, but he won’t deny it – hearing his name introduced in the starting lineup at the United Center is going to be special. Mohammed may start Tuesday's preseason opener against Memphis because Joakim Noah is away from the team with a personal issue.
