Gobert Injured in Practice: Grade II Sprained MCL

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Covington also aggravated his injury when he came back and was out an addition 10 days... did he come back too soon? His MCL may have been grade 1 as well... Not a great example to throw out there.

Rudy's is grade 2. Marc Gasol missed 23 games and 7 weeks with the same injury. Gasol is bigger, but Rudy is a large man and the Jazz training staff has been conservative in the past. My guess is at least 6 weeks and 8 weeks wouldn't surprise me at all.

I would be terrified he would re-injure it if he came back in two weeks.

Just said it was similar.

Jody Genessy interview with Snyder.

Snyder says: "We could play small. We could stay big with Jeff Withey and Fav at four. I thin you'ill all those combinations at some point over the next couple months, whenever Rudy gets back, whatever his timeline is".

So have Jazz released an official report of any kind on Goberts injury?

Sprains can be serious. I know high ankle sprains are sometimes considered worse than a break.

This injury sucks. I hope Rudy gets better and recovers.

Boler just said that they're thinking it's 4-6 weeks, but Rudy is upbeat and thinks it won't take that long.

This will be another chance to see what this team is made of. Good teams step up when key players are out and there is not a big drop off in the short term because everybody knows they have to do more.
