Jazz rule out Derrick Favors (knee) for Tuesday

Utah Jazz forward/center Derrick Favors (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks.

What It Means:

This looks to be a new injury for Favors, who played almost 25 minutes on Saturday. It's only being listed as left knee soreness, so it doesn't look like he'll miss extended time, but with Favors' extensive injury history, that's far from certain. Look for Jonas Jerebko to start in his place.

Favors is averaging 12.0 points, 7.2 boards, 1.3 assists and 1.0 blocks in 27.8 minutes per game this season.
