Impact Jeffries will be available to make his return to game action after missing Sunday's loss to Phoenix. However, the 27-year-old is not guaranteed playing time with LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller and Cody Martin all having returned since Jeffries last played Dec. 30.

Iffy for Sunday Jeffries is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Suns due to an illness.

Impact Jeffries wasn't included on the Hornets' initial injury report that was released Saturday, so the illness is presumably something that cropped up overnight. The 27-year-old has been available for both of the Hornets' previous two games but didn't see the court in coach's decisions, so he'll likely be outside of the rotation even if he ends up shaking off the illness ahead of Sunday's 9 p.m. ET tipoff.

Questionable against Detroit Jeffries is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Pistons due to right adductor tightness.

Logs season-high 30 minutes Jeffries chipped in 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Friday's 108-98 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Jeffries made the most of a favorable situation, logging a season-high in minutes. Despite playing well off the bench, Jeffries has suited up on just four occasions this season, typically as a result of others falling foul of the injury bug. At this point, there is no reason to think Jeffries will feature as an every-night part of the rotation.

Productive off bench Saturday Jeffries ended Saturday's 116-102 loss to the Cavaliers with 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes.

Impact Jeffries was tied for the second in the Hornets in scoring alongside Josh Green, and he made the most of his 25 minutes off the bench -- an uptick over the 16 minutes he saw in his season debut on Thursday against the Knicks. Jeffries should continue to see steady minutes off the bench as long as the Hornets remain depleted in terms of depth.

Makes season debut Jeffries (hand) tallied eight points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and one assist across 16 minutes in Thursday's 125-101 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Jeffries missed the first 20 games of the season while recovering from a fractured right hand before he was cleared to suit up Tuesday against the 76ers. While he didn't play in Tuesday's six-point loss, the blowout nature of Thursday's contest along with the early exit of Tidjane Salaun (ankle) helped open up some minutes for Jeffries. A 27-year-old journeyman who has now seen action for five NBA times during his career, Jeffries is unlikely to be prioritized by Charlotte. He could fall back out of the rotation Saturday versus the Cavaliers if either Salaun or Miles Bridges (knee) is available to play.
