Al Jefferson out against Cavaliers, Biyombo to start

Al Jefferson will sit tonight against the Cleveland Cavaliers, with Bismack Biyombo getting the start at center in his stead. According to Rick Bonnell, Jefferson has a limp, which gives the Bobcats enough concern that they'll let him rest a bit more before bringing him back again.

Jefferson, who made his first game appearance in the season opener since a right ankle sprain in a preseason game against the Miami Heat a couple weeks ago, struggled mightily in his debut. His 6-for-19 shooting for 13 points and 8 rebounds gave some fans pause about his health.

I'm not sure how much his ankle affected his play, but I would hope a healthier one would go great lengths to improving what we saw against Houston a couple nights ago because yikes.

Instead, the Bobcats will likely start the same frontcourt pair they used a lot in the preseason with Jefferson out: Josh McRoberts and Bismack Biyombo.
