Jefferson (foot) will not play in Monday's Game 4 against Miami, the Charlotte Observer reports.

Analysis:

Jefferson's painful torn plantar fascia in his foot will finally hold him out of the playoffs, after playing through the injury for the first three games. With just one day of rest in between Game 3 and Game 4, Bobcats' coach Steve Clifford said that it just wasn't enough time for Jefferson to rest. Bismack Biyombo will start in place of Jefferson with Cody Zeller contributing off the bench for the Bobcats.
