Rudy Gobert: Collects double-double in return from knee injury

After Gobert suffered a hyperextended left knee and bone contusion in the first
minute of Game 1, the Jazz weren’t certain if he’d be able to return at any
point during the series, but the star big man made a surprisingly swift recovery
and shined immediately in his return to action. Though the Jazz restricted
Gobert’s minutes, his presence in the frontcourt helped give the team a needed
lift with All-Star Gordon Hayward exiting early with an illness. Gobert was
resting down the stretch Sunday as the Jazz look to avoid overworking him, but
he could be ready to take back a 30-plus-minute role in Tuesday’s Game 5.
