MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -Minnesota Timberwolves center Al Jefferson brushed off rumors of a potential trade on Monday morning. He says trade rumors are just a part of life in the NBA and he will not worry about them.
Jefferson spoke in Denver after the team’s morning shootaround. He was responding to a report by Yahoo! that cited anonymous sources in saying Timberwolves president David Kahn offered Jefferson to Indiana in exchange for Danny Granger.
Jefferson says he and his agent met with Kahn a few days ago and Kahn assured them he was staying put. Jefferson is averaging 17.7 points and 9.1 rebounds per game and is still working his way back from a torn ACL suffered last February.
