Al Jefferson called out his Indiana Pacers for a lack of effort following Sunday’s loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Jefferson, 32, has only played limited minutes this season, though he saw 18 minutes against Minnesota.
Al Jefferson: "We got to figure it out, man. We can’t blame the coaches, we can't blame the GM, we can’t blame the fans, we can’t blame nobody. We the ones out there.
“There’s just no effort at all. And that’s something you got to have."

The Pacers have lost four in a row, including two by wide margins. A big reason for their recent struggles is that Victor Oladipo has missed the past three games due to a knee injury. The team clearly is missing their All-Star and his leadership, and they’re falling in the Eastern Conference standings without him.
