Utah Jazz power forward Derrick Favors will miss his second consecutive game Monday with back spasms, according to Kent Youngblood of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Favors was on the bench for Saturday's win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. His next chance to play will come Wednesday versus the Denver Nuggets.
The 23-year-old, in his fifth season, is averaging a career-high 16.4 points on 53.2 percent shooting from the field and 8.3 rebounds in 68 games.
