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.
