Just a short time after the trade deadline, former Sixers center Nerlens Noel will make his return to the Wells Fargo Center on Friday night. Before doing so, he's going to give the Philly fans quite a treat. Noel will be at Chickie & Pete's in South Philadelphia and cheesesteaks will be on the house, according to his Twitter account.

Noel, 22, has played in seven games since being traded to the Mavericks for Justin Anderson and two second round picks, averaging 10.3 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game. He's missed three games due to knee soreness, but played on Wednesday night against the Wizards, tallying 12 points, three rebounds, one assist and one block in the Mavs 112-107 win. Dallas is 6-1 in the games Noel has played.
