Pacers' Al Jefferson: X-rays on ankle negative

X-rays on Jefferson's left ankle came back negative following Sunday's 107-94 victory over the 76ers, Nate Taylor of the Indianapolis Star reports.

Analysis:

The big man was taken off the court in a wheelchair Sunday and diagnosed with an ankle sprain, but appears to have avoided any structural damage. Jefferson is a crucial part of the Pacers' rotation, contributing 8.1 points and 4,2 rebounds across 14.1 minutes per game this season. He should be considered questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Timberwolves until the Pacers provide an update.
