Al Jefferson (dental pain) will be on Pacers' sidelines Friday night
Indiana Pacers forward/center Al Jefferson (dental pain) will not play on Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies.
What It Means:
This is hopefully just a minor issue and Jefferson will be able to return on Saturday night against the Miami Heat. Kevin Seraphin could replace Jefferson as Myles Turner' primary backup tonight, but he's not a recommended fantasy option. Perhaps Turner could benefit from some extra opportunity.
With Jefferson ruled out, numberFire's metrics expect Turner to turn in 16.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 2.2 blocks in 32.4 minutes versus the Grizzlies.
