Al Jefferson (calf) doubtful to return for Hornets on Sunday

Charlotte Hornets center Al Jefferson suffered a left calf strain during Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, and he is doubtful to return.

What It Means:

The severity of the injury isn't known yet, but if he can't go for the Hornets' next game on Wednesday, Frank Kaminsky and Cody Zeller stand to see more minutes.

Jefferson ranks 46th in the league with a 3.6 nERD this year. He has seen a drop-off in both points (19.0) and rebounds (8.8) per 36 minutes this year, and his 13.4 percent rebound rate is a career low.
