Gobert (knee) will miss at least another week, Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert has been out since Dec. 15 with a sprained left knee, and an evaluation Saturday revealed that he'll need at least another 7-to-10 days before returning to full-speed work. The center has been participating in light practices in recent days but has not yet been cleared to take any contact. Assuming Gobert sits out through next weekend, he'll miss at least four more contests, and that could be on the low end considering the Jazz will likely try to get him back for a full practice or two before clearing him for game action. In the meantime, expect Derrick Favors to continue to start at center in a more small-ball-oriented lineup.

Gobert (knee) is participating in non-contact portions of practice, but will remain sidelined for Friday's game against the Hornets, Kyle Goon of the Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was reported a few weeks back that Gobert was still on track for a mid-January return and that appears to potentially be within reach now that Gobert is going through non-contact work. He'll eventually need to go through a full-contact practice or two at some point prior to being cleared, so he may still be a week or so away. Gobert has officially been ruled out for Friday's contest, which would then make Monday's game against the Pacers his next opportunity to take the floor. Continue to monitor his status over the next few days, with another update likely coming when Gobert ramps up his practice activity again.

Gobert (knee), who was evaluated Saturday, is expected to remain sidelined for another two weeks.
EDGE Analysis
This update from the Jazz simply means that Gobert is still on track for his original timetable of a mid-January return. He'll be re-evaluated in two weeks time, in the hope of singling out a specific return date.

Gobert (knee) is set to be reevaluated on Saturday, Jazz radio play-by-play announcer David Locke reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was reported on Dec. 16 that Gobert was expected miss a month with a sprained PCL and bone bruise in his left knee, so Saturday will only be two weeks since that original timetable was reported. For that reason, it seems unlikely that a return is imminent, though Saturday's reevaluation should shed further light on how he's progressing. Gobert will remain out for at least the next two games and further word on a timetable should come Saturday. In the meantime, Derrick Favors should continue to start at center in his place, with Jonas Jerebko, Ekpe Udoh and Thabo Sefolosha seeing expanded roles as well.

Gobert (knee) has been diagnosed with a sprained PCL in his left knee and a bone bruise in his tibia and is expected to miss roughly a month, Shams Charania of The Vertical reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert departed Friday's game against the Celtics early in the first quarter after teammate Derrick Favors inadvertently rolled into his knee. While initial X-rays came back negative, a subsequent MRI revealed the PCL sprain and bone bruise, the combination of which will sideline Gobert for the next several weeks. Gobert already missed a chunk of time earlier this season with a bone bruise in his right knee, and Friday marked his sixth game back from that injury. Going forward, expect the Jazz to return to a smaller lineup with Derrick Favors at center, and players like Jonas Jerebko, Ekpe Udoh and Thabo Sefolosha picking up increased minutes at the four.

Gobert suffered a Grade 1 MCL sprain in his left knee during Friday's game against the Celtics, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert went down early in the first quarter after teammate Derrick Favors (face) awkwardly rolled onto his leg. It is not the same knee that kept him sidelined for 11 games earlier this season with a bone bruise, and X-Rays came back negative. The big man is without a timetable to return at this time, but he is expected to undergo an MRI Saturday, which should offer a clearer recovery timeline. Favors (face) slid to center during Gobert's original absence, while Jonas Jerebko played power forward, and both figure to benefit from Gobert's absence.

Gobert will not return to Friday's game against the Celtics after suffering a left knee injury, David Locke of the Jazz Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injury occurred early in the first quarter after teammate Derrick Favors rolled on Gobert's leg. The severity of the injury is unknown at this time, as the Jazz will likely need to run more tests on the big mans' knee. His status for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers does not look good at the moment, but expect an update once the team provides more information on the situation.

Gobert was helped to the locker room during Friday's game against the Celtics after Derrick Favors rolled into his knee, David Locke of the Jazz Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Locke also mentioned that Gobert seemed to be moving better the more he walked, so it doesn't seem to be serious at the moment. He should be considered questionable to return, with more information on his status likely emerging at some point during the game.

Gobert finished with just six points while adding 11 rebounds, five blocks, and one assist in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 103-100 loss to the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert continues to work his way back from a knee injury, attempting just seven field goals in the loss. He has scored in double-figures in just one of his five games since returning but does have 11 blocks in that span. He was scoring more prior to going down, however, since then Donovan Mitchell has established himself as a legitimate scoring dynamo. Gobert is going to have to get used to playing next to Mitchell and should see his value climb over the next week or so.

Gobert (knee) is expected to be monitored closely during Tuesday's game against the Thunder, though an exact minutes restriction is not being provided, Erik Horne of the Oklahoman reports.
EDGE Analysis
After an 11-game absence because of a bone bruise in his knee, Gobert made his return to the lineup Monday, posting four points, 10 rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocks over 21 minutes. With the Jazz going into the second night of a back-to-back, coach Quin Snyder will keep a close eye on Gobert's minutes, so it's unclear if he'll see much more time than the 21 minutes he logged Monday. While Gobert proved he can be effective with limited playing time, he'll still be a risky DFS play for Tuesday's three-game slate.
