Jazz's Derrick Favors: Out Monday vs. Pacers

Favors (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pacers, Jazz radio play-by-play announcers David Locke reports.

Analysis:

Favors is still dealing with a bone bruise in his left knee and is not quite yet ready to make his return to the floor. The Jazz have changed their power forward on a night-to-nigh basis with Favors out depending on their matchup, but they'll again go with a smaller lineup Monday, which feature Gordon Hayward and Joe Johnson at the two forward positions. Favors' next opportunity to return will be Wednesday against the Knicks.
