Injured Jazz center Rudy Gobert is 'getting better every day'

Utah Jazz center, and Frenchman, Rudy Gobert (27) listens to the French National Anthem as the Utah Jazz and the Toronto Raptors play NBA basketball Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2015, in Salt Lake City.

“I’m working hard. I know I’m going to be back stronger. So it’s painful to watch, but I’m going to be back soon.”

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A week ago in practice, Rudy Gobert felt a crack when a couple of teammates collided and his left knee got in the way.

The Jazz center didn't hear anything pop (fortunately), but the entire state of Utah might’ve heard loud moans, groans and maybe even some curse words if the diagnosis on his injured knee had been worse than a Grade II sprain of the left MCL.
