Al Jefferson unhappy with Corbin

[Swish]

Al Jefferson left Monday's overtime loss with 54 seconds remaining in the third period and Tyrone Corbin never reinserted him into the game.

Corbin was asked if there is an issue with Jefferson, but the Utah coach said he believed the younger group had earned the right to finish the game.

“The young guys were playing well,” Corbin said. “They played hard and I thought they deserved to be on the floor.”

But Jefferson clearly isn't happy at the moment. In the four past games, Jefferson has issued three no-comments to reporters and also was ejected on Saturday.

Jefferson left the arena without speaking to reporters following the game.

Might look bad in Utah if Al isn't happy in there especially since he became their first scoring option since Deron Williams went to the Nets! Do you see him asking for a trade or will he stay and everything will be alright?

I don't think anyone is happy right now in Utah. You gotta win to be happy in this business.

If he truly was being outplayed by the younger reserve guys, then I do not see any issue. Sounds like a guy who doesn't want to blame himself to me.

I kinda feel sorry for Al. Things completely changed up, idk if he would have went to Utah if he saw Deron getting traded ahead of time

Yeah, that's true. I'm sure he could of got the same contract somewhere else from a team in a better situation but he did probably choose Utah because he would have Deron passing to him.

Ask to be traded to Detroit imo.

It is more like 10 steps backwards then falling off a cliff.

Lol I'm just saying tho haha like his hopes had to be really high and I'd hate to leave Minny to go to a great situation, then have that great situation murdered before one season was even over lol

If any player in this league today asked to be traded to Detroit, I may question their mental health lol
