Derrick Favors (knee) ruled out by Utah for Wednesday

Utah Jazz forward/center Derrick Favors (knee soreness) will not play on Wednesday versus the Houston Rockets.

What It Means:

Favors has battled injuries all season, limiting him to just 47 games played and only 24.1 minutes per game. The Jazz don't play again until Saturday, so the team could be playing it safe with their power forward. Boris Diaw and Trey Lyles will likely split Favors minutes on Wednesday.

Favors is averaging 9.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks per game, the lowest numbers he has posted in four seasons.
