The news is out, but it’s as expected, that the Utah Jazz are not going to be playing Rudy Gobert in Game 2 of the NBA Playoffs. Game two is tomorrow night visiting the “now or never” Los Angeles Clippers.

But there is some good news. Rudy is upright. Rudy is walking around. Rudy is at practice. And Rudy is on the court doing basketball things.
Derrick Favors on Rudy Gobert: "His spirits are high. Hopefully we'll get him back in a week or two."

Coach Q said Rudy Gobert is limping around shooting. no timetable on his return. George Hill says it's great to see him cracking jokes.

No time-table is just what we’d all expect. Happy to see him on the court. The Clippers won’t know when he’ll be back either. That fear will be there every night though.
