He also carries a lot more weight. That has a pretty big impact on recovery.
Gobert Injured in Practice: Grade II Sprained MCL

- Start date

Marc Gasol missed 23 games a couple years back with a similar injury...you can see how he did right after he came back (in January) as well as how he progressed the rest of the season. Once his minutes were back to normal he looked just as good as before the injury. Lets hope Gobert is the same way.
FYI the Grizzlies were 7-6 before Gasol went down, they went 10-13 without him, and then went 33-13 when he came back...they ended up winning 50 games and got the 7th seed that year (crazy to think that a 33-13 record to close out the season only gave them the 7th seed, luckily the West isnt as good anymore).

Not to mention he isn't a fan of playing C full time if I recall

I don't think the Hayward at 4 experiment would work for significant minutes. Just think about him in Favors role in offense, that is completely out of his game. I think I'd start Withey and we would have to give Booker a big jump in minutes. Lyles will get more chance to develop so there's one silver lining?
Hayward at the 4 doesn't mean Hayward takes Favors role on offense.

In Corbins last year Favors played center almost exclusively. And in the locker clean out interviews he stated that he really didn't like being a center and he preferred power forward
