Al Jefferson will miss at least two weeks with a strained calf injury.

Jefferson was diagnosed Monday with a strained left calf and will miss two-to-three weeks.

Analysis:

Jefferson left Sunday's game against the Bucks in the first quarter with the calf injury, and an MRI on Monday confirmed that the big man would be sidelined for multiple weeks. It hasn't been determined yet who will replace Jefferson in the starting lineup, though Cody Zeller opened the second half of Sunday's game with the starters while Big Al was out. In addition to Zeller, Frank Kaminsky and Spencer Hawes could see increased minutes during Jefferson's absence.
