Jefferson (strained left groin) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Thunder.

Analysis:

Jefferson first suffered the injury last Saturday, but has played in both of Charlotte's game since that time. However, he saw minute counts below his 32.7 per game in both contests, and count be in line for another slight reduction in playing time again versus the Thunder. It's probably not significant enough for those in season-long leagues to keep Jefferson on their bench, but daily game players should exercise more caution with using the big man in their lineups.
