Indeed. I wish I caught the beginning of that conversation. My daughter's the one who brought it up. I didn't know she'd been listening in when I told my wife about the injury. Then later on she starts telling me not to be sad about "that big guy" pointing to Rudy's picture on the fridge. She barely turned 3.

Unfortunate injury, let's hope we can tread water until his return. I've heard 6-8 weeks, but knowing Rudy I wouldn't be surprised if he came back sooner. I just hope that he & the team doesn't rush it as we were unlikely to win a title this year regardless. But considering how we (as well as the WC) looked prior to the injury, I think it's safe to say this team has a legitimate shot at competing for a championship within the next 2-3 years (given Gobert recovers, Exum develops, Hayward re-signs, etc).
As much as you hate to see a key player get injured, this could ultimately turnout to be a positive as Booker will get more of an opportunity to increase his trade value, Lyles will get more playing time in order to develop his game, & it will force Snyder to occasionally use Hayward & possibly Ingles at the 4 which will make both more versatile. Obviously everyone was hoping for a playoff run (which is still a possibility) but as long as the injury doesn't have any long-term effects on Gobert, hopefully (like the Exum injury) this is just a minor bump in the road to our 1st NBA Championship.
