Al Jefferson 'likely' to play on Friday night
Al Jefferson - F/C - Utah Jazz
March 8, 2013 - 8:15 AM ET

Al Jefferson (ankle) is listed as a game-time decision for Friday's game, but it is "likely" that he'll play.

Jefferson said after Thursday's practice that he anticipated playing, so all signs point to Big Al returning on Friday as long as he doesn't suffer a setback. This means the ride for owners playing Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter is all but over with a healthy Paul Millsap in the starting five.
