Al Jefferson is in the midst of a career-worst season that's seeing him average 8.1 points and 4.2 rebounds in just north of 14 minutes per game. The veteran has become nothing more than a role player for Indiana.
But with the Pacers vying for a playoff spot back east, any damage to the team's rotation could hurt moving forward. It's in this that Jefferson now being sidelined for at least the next two weeks could hurt the team's depth. Jefferson is dealing with a sprained ankle.
With the veteran out of action, we're expecting higher usage for youngster Myles Turner, who is averaging 14.7 points and 7.2 rebounds in just less than 32 minutes of action per game.
If anything, he should see an uptick of about five minutes per outing, which could mean something as the fantasy season draws to a conclusion.
