Jared Jeffries News: Jeffries, who returned Tuesday following one game missed due to a sore right hip, pulled down two rebounds in four minutes as Portland bogged down in a loss Friday at Utah.

Jeffries, who returned Tuesday following one game missed due to a sore right hip, pulled down two rebounds in four minutes as Portland bogged down in a loss Friday at Utah.

Since he sat out the second contest of the Blazers' previous back-to-back set last Sunday, Jeffries could very well do the same Saturday versus the Jazz. However, with averages of 1.1 points and 2.2 boards in 9.7 minutes over 11 January outings, his potential absence should not concern the majority of fantasy owners. Rookie center Meyers Leonard would pick up any playing time generally doled out to Jeffries.
