Jefferson sat out of Tuesday's loss to the Rockets after suffering through back spasms earlier that day, ESPN reports.

Analysis:

Jefferson was limited with a calf injury earlier in the series, but it was back spasms that ended up keeping him out of this game. With the Mavericks being eliminated from the playoffs, he'll now have the offseason to get back to 100 percent. Jefferson is an unrestricted free agent, so we'll have to wait and see if he decides to re-sign with the Mavericks or take his talents to another championship contending team.
