Derrick Favors said sleeping on his stomach, soft mattress might have caused back injury

Few things are as important as a good night’s sleep.
Just ask Derrick Favors and the Utah Jazz.
Favors missed 16 games while being sidelined for nearly a month with back and hip pain. At shootaround on Monday, Favors was asked again what he’s doing to prevent a reoccurrence of the injury.
"Try not to sleep on my stomach basically," he said. "I think that’s what caused it."
So in addition to running extra wind sprints to get his conditioning back, and going through extra drills to knock the rust off his post moves, Favors is having to spend his nights working on changing his sleeping habits.
