|
February 28, 2010 According to Darren Wolfson on Twitter, Al Jefferson apparently was arrested and charged with a DUI on Sunday morning. Our View:Wolfson provided the booking log for the arrest as well, so this appears to be legit. Jefferson is already dealing with a sub-par season and reduced playing time, so this is the worst possible thing for him right now. He likely won't be suspended by the league though, as his court date is after the regular season ends. |

Our View:It's tough to complain about a double-double, but Jefferson's owners would clearly like to see him get more than 26 minutes of action and be a bit more aggressive on offense; he failed to get to the line a single time. He's now scored exactly 10 points for three straight games and does not seem to be fully recovered from last year's knee surgery. |
|

Expect a return to form soon. |

He should be fine to employ in fantasy lineups, but keep in mind that he's not completely healthy. |
|

There are reports that he and Kevin Love aren't getting along, so Al may be on his way out. |
