In Rudy Gobert’s return to Salt Lake City, he led the Minnesota Timberwolves to a victory over the Utah Jazz, 118-108.
It was a much-awaited return, and the Jazz shared a video tribute in the 1st quarter commemorating their former star center.
I was near the Wolves bench, and you could see Gobert enjoyed the video and then waived to the fans. It was nice to see the Jazz organization do an excellent job of welcoming one of the Jazz greats back and showing him that appreciation. As I watched, I couldn’t help but think that it’s very likely Gobert will have a jersey in the rafters at some point, and rightfully so.
