Al Jefferson returns to game after having foot re-taped

Al Jefferson is a tough, tough dude.

The Charlotte Bobcats center is playing through a foot injury on Wednesday night in Game 2 against the Miami Heat, one that sounds a lot like a torn plantar fascia or similarly gruesome hoof ailment.

In the first quarter, he was noticeably uncomfortable but played 10 minutes before sitting down for a rest. Jefferson then went to the locker room, rightfully worrying Bobcats fans.

However, Jefferson returned a few minutes into the second quarter, having had his left foot and ankle re-taped, according to the TNT broadcast. So he'll continue to try and play through this, which...yeah, tough dude.
