Wittman said he doesn’t know if G Sebastian Telfair (ankle) will return to action before the season ends. Telfair has missed the past 15 games since injuring his ankle March 7 at Sacramento.
Wittman said he believes Jefferson is fighting late-season fatigue.
Jefferson had a season-low two rebounds Wednesday
night at Utah. Coming into Sunday, he had averaged only 17.3 points on
44.5 percent shooting and 8.1 rebounds in the previous eight games. His
season averages are 20.9 points, 11.2 rebounds and 49.8 percent
shooting.

”My first game we played New Orleans, Peja Stojakovic made like six
straight jumpers in my face,” Brewer said. “That was the first time I
played against a guy, playing the best defense I could play, that made
six straight jumpers in my face.

“In the NBA, if you’re playing Kobe [Bryant], every single moment
