Derrick Favors (back) a partial participant at Jazz shootaround

Utah Jazz forward/center Derrick Favors (back soreness) participated in a limited capacity during Tuesday's shootaround, and he's still questionable for tonight's game against the Golden State Warriors.

What It Means:

Favors missed Monday's practice, and being limited at shootaround is a pretty good indication that, even if he does play, he may not be able to handle a full workload. Look for Boris Diaw to pick up the slack if Favors sits or is limited at all tonight.

numberFire's models account for Favors playing in a limited role tonight, projecting him for 6.2 points and 3.8 rebounds in 14.5 minutes of action versus Golden State.
