Al Jefferson is ready to return, as expected
Al Jefferson - F/C - Utah Jazz
March 8, 2013 - 7:10 PM ET

Al Jefferson (ankle) will play in Friday's game against the Bulls.

Jefferson practiced on Thursday, went through the morning shootaround and says his sprained ankle is in fine shape. He'll immediately return to the starting lineup next to Paul Millsap, capping the potential of impressive bench bigs Enes Kanter and Derrick Favors. Jefferson is safe to plug back into all fantasy squads.
