Jefferson was signed in early-December to give the Celtics some additional depth up front, while other big men worked their way back from injuries. Boston took it easy with Daniel Theis following offseason knee surgery, and Tristan Thompson has been recovering from a strained hamstring suffered before training camp.
Jefferson played in one of the Celtics two preseason games. He logged four minutes against the Brooklyn Nets and grabbed one rebound, while committing a foul and turning the ball over once.
