Jefferson first showed up on the injury report on October 5 as day-to-day with a back and torso problem. On October 16 the Nets moved him to Out. That status lasted three days. On October 19 he was cleared and is no longer listed. The injury report now shows nothing against his name. The timeline covers two weeks from the first listing to the all-clear. Brooklyn has not given any further detail on the injury in the information available.

Jefferson is listed at 6-foot-8 and 250 pounds and wears No. 9. He plays forward and arrives from Iowa State as a rookie, so there are no NBA numbers from last season to review. His two recent game entries, a loss to Miami on October 14 and a win over Charlotte on October 6, both show 0 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists in 0.0 minutes. He did not get on the floor in either game. Whether he plays when the Nets open the season is the next question.
