Minnesota Timberwolves center Al Jefferson watches his team on television in Golden Valley, Minn., Monday, April 13, 2009 as they take on the Dallas Mavericks. For the past two months, his position has been here in the basement of his sprawling home just outside the Twin Cities, seated on a comfortable gray couch with the lounge chair extended to keep his surgically repaired right knee elevated.
