Jefferson (calf) will not play Friday against the Bulls.

Analysis:

Jefferson is without a diagnosis at this point, but he said he felt something "pop" in his calf during the third quarter of Wednesday's game, which is certainly not a good sign. He'll miss Friday's game and it would not be a surprise if he's held out in subsequent contests. His absence means Bismack Biyombo and Jason Maxiell should both see increased minutes, though neither player is a strong fantasy option.
