Favors (back) will warm up before Monday's game against the Hornets, but it's unclear if he'll be able to play, Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Favors has missed the last 13 games due to back spasms, but the Jazz have been hesitant to rule him anything other than day-to-day. While the past month of inactivity suggests Favors' chances to play Monday aren't great, the fact that he's warming up is certainly encouraging. Expect a more definitive update shortly, as Tuesday's game tips at 2:00 ET as part of the NBA's adjusted schedule for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
