Gobert (knee) has been upgraded to questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Clippers, Jazz radio play-by-play announcer David Locke reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert came into Sunday with a doubtful designation, but must have seen some unexpected improvement overnight and has now been upgraded to questionable following the team's morning shootaround. Look for Gobert to test out the knee again during pregame warmups, meaning we should get final word on his availability shortly before tip off. If Gobert is ultimately cleared to play, there's a chance he sees some restrictions on his playing time in his first game back.

Gobert (knee) is not expected to play in Sunday's Game 4 against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
While Gobert avoided any major damage after suffering a knee injury early in Game 1, he appears likely to miss his third straight contest as the Jazz look to avoid falling behind 3-1 in the series. That said, a final decision on Gobert's status has not been made, and an official call likely won't come until after the team's medical staff can evaluate him at shootaround Sunday morning.

Gobert (knee) will remain sidelined for Friday's Game 3 against the Clippers, Andy Larsen of KSL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Gobert has recently been seen walking without a limp and appears to be progressing well in his rehab, the star big man will need at least one more game off to further rest and recover from the bruised and hyperextended knee he suffered in Game 1. The Jazz are still holding out hope for a return at some point during this series, with Gobert's next shot to play in a Game 4 matchup on Sunday. In the meantime, look for Derrick Favors to pick up another start at center after posting 13 points, seven rebounds and one block across 33 minutes in Game 2.

Gobert (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 2 against the Clippers, Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
An MRI following Saturday's playoff opener against the Clippers revealed Gobert is dealing with a bruised and hyperextended knee, which means there's no overall structural damage. That said, it's still an injury that's going to cost Gobert some time and the fact that he's being ruled out a day in advance of Tuesday's contest could mean he's in line to miss additional time. With Gobert out, Derrick Favors is expected to draw the start at center on Tuesday, while Jeff Withey should see a bigger role off the bench while operating as the top backup.

Gobert has been diagnosed with a bruised and hyperextended left knee, ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert was forced from Saturday's series opener against the Clippers with a knee injury and while an MRI following the game cleared him of anything more significant, the bruised and hyperextended knee brings with it the possibility of Gobert missing the rest of the series. He'll likely continue to be evaluated on a game-to-game basis and while he hasn't officially been ruled out of Game 2 against the Clippers on Tuesday, he can be considered doubtful at best and is likely to miss additional time as well.

Gobert contributed 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds and one blocked shot across 29 minutes in Wednesday's 101-97 win over the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert's production was down due to his eventual benching along with the rest of the Jazz's key players in this insignificant game for both teams. He'll be bracing for a tough matchup when he tangles with DeAndre Jordan and the Clippers in the first round of the playoffs. Gobert has averaged a double-double against them this season, with 13.8 points and 11.8 rebounds over four contests.

Gobert generated 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 FT), 18 rebounds and two blocks over 33 minutes in Monday's 105-99 win over the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert was his typical dominant self down low and didn't see any drop in usage despite George Hill returning from a six-game absence and playing 20 minutes. The 24-year-old big man has 12 double-doubles in the last 13 contests and will be one of the most integral components of the Jazz's playoff fortunes.

Gobert supplied 13 points (5-6 FG, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and four blocks over 31 minutes in Saturday's 101-86 loss to the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
After seeing a 10-game double-double streak snapped on Friday versus the Timberwolves, Gobert came back and accomplished the feat Saturday. The elite rim protector also recorded multiple blocks for the fifth straight contest and has now posted 18 straight double-digit scoring efforts. Gobert's contributions on the glass and on defense figure to be crucial to the Jazz's fortunes in the upcoming postseason.
