Al Jefferson (back) will not play Friday

Al Jefferson (back) will not play against the Raptors on Friday.

Jefferson didn't expect to miss any time and in Wednesday's post-game interviews he said, "that's why I bought a $25,000 bed." He has been one of the more durable players in the NBA in recent years and he should be considered as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers. Enes Kanter will hold down the fort at center until Derrick Favors (foot) and Jefferson can return.
