MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- The Minnesota Timberwolves' Al Jefferson is out indefinitely with a torn ACL in his right knee.

The team made the announcement Monday after practice.

Jefferson hurt his knee when he landed awkwardly late in Sunday's 101-97 loss to New Orleans. He was examined Monday, when the anterior cruciate ligament tear was discovered.

Jefferson is the team's leading scorer and rebounder, at 23.1 points and 11 rebounds per game. He was the biggest star out of the group of five players traded by the Celtics for Kevin Garnett prior to last season.
