Al Jefferson practices, game-time on Friday
Al Jefferson - F/C - Utah Jazz

Al Jefferson (ankle) returned to practice on Thursday and is a game-time decision on Friday, but he expects to play.
Jefferson returning to practice a full day before the game is a great sign, but it's still too early to tell if he'll play even though he anticipates it because he'll have to be cleared. If he sits out again, we'd expect Derrick Favors to step into a starting role as he has the past two games, but Enes Kanter would split minutes with Favors off the bench.
