Jefferson (knee) is considered day-to-day and will not play Friday against the Bulls.

Analysis:

Jefferson was initially diagnosed with a calf injury, but upon further evaluation the team discovered he actually has a sprained right knee. It appears he's escaped a major injury, but he could still miss a few games in the short-term. The Hornets hope to have him back for Monday's game in Utah.
