Al Jefferson

Pacers list Al Jefferson and Rakeem Christmas as questionable Wednesday

Indiana Pacers forward/center Al Jefferson (dental work) and power forward Rakeem Christmas (heel) are both being listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.

What It Means:

Jefferson has missed three straight games after undergoing dental surgery, and Christmas' minutes had peaked at 20.4 with Jefferson sidelined on Monday. If neither one can play, Thaddeus Young will see a bump in minutes, while Lavoy Allen may also get some increased run.

While our models do account for Jefferson playing, we project Young for 10.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 28.2 minutes of action tonight.
