Gobert (calf) won't play Sunday against Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
The Jazz have insisted that Gobert's calf strain isn't particularly serious, but he'll be forced to sit out a fourth consecutive game. Hassan Whiteside should continue to serve as the starting center while Gobert remains sidelined.

Gobert (calf) will not play Friday against the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
While the Jazz maintain that Gobert's strained left calf is not overly serious, he'll miss at least one more game, and it would not be a surprise if he ends up sitting out Sunday's contest at Minnesota. So long as the All-Star big man is sidelined, Hassan Whiteside should continue to start at center. Whiteside posted a 16-point, 11-rebound double-double with two blocks and a steal in Wednesday night's 105-97 loss to the Suns.

The Jazz continue to view Gobert's left calf strain as a minor concern, and the center is expected to resume playing before the All-Star break, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Jazz's continued positivity surrounding Gobert's health outlook is promising, but since the All-Star break is still three weeks away, Todd's report hints the veteran center will likely miss additional games. Gobert has already sat out Utah's last two contests with the injury, and though the team is seemingly content to evaluate him on a game-by-game basis, he should be viewed as doubtful to play in the Jazz's next matchup Friday in Memphis. Hassan Whiteside posted a double-double in Wednesday's loss to the Suns while picking up his second start in a row at center, and he should be a worthy option in 12-team leagues until Gobert is cleared to play again.

Gobert (calf) will remain out for Wednesday's game against the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert's strained left calf will cause him to miss at least one more game after he sat out Monday's loss to the Suns. Expect Hassan Whiteside to make another start in his place. The Jazz will also be without their other star, Donovan Mitchell, who remains in concussion protocols.

Gobert (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Phoenix, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert sustained a left calf strain late in Sunday's loss to the Warriors and will be forced to miss at least one game. However, his injury isn't considered particularly serious, and he isn't expected to miss extended time. Hassan Whiteside (conditioning), Udoka Azubuike and Eric Paschall are candidates for additional run Monday.

Gobert suffered a left calf strain during Sunday's 94-92 loss to the Warriors, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert was limping during the final few minutes of Sunday's matchup but was able to remain in the game. He was dominant against the Warriors with 12 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 18 rebounds, three assists and a steal in 36 minutes, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be available Monday against the Suns.

Gobert (ankle) will be available for Sunday's game against Golden State, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
A minor ankle issue landed Gobert on the injury report coming into the day, but he'll play through it and start at his usual center spot. The big man is coming off of a 24-point, 14-rebound, four-block performance against Detroit on Friday.

Gobert (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert played through the issue Friday against the Pistons to total 24 points, 14 rebounds, four blocks and one assist in 32 minutes. Hassan Whiteside (conditioning) is also questionable Sunday, so the Jazz could be quite shorthanded in the frontcourt.

Gobert (ankle) is available Friday against the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert was questionable for Friday's matchup due to left ankle soreness, but he'll be able to play through the issue. Across his last three appearances, he's averaged 20.0 points and 14.7 rebounds in 36.3 minutes per contest.

Gobert is questionable for Friday's game against the Pistons with left ankle soreness, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert was initially absent from Friday's injury report, but his availability is now in question due to the ankle issue. Udoka Azubuike, Eric Paschall and Rudy Gay should see run if Gobert is unable to play, since Hassan Whiteside (COVID-19 protocols) has already been ruled out.
