MEXICO CITY — Following the Utah Jazz’s 111-84 victory against the Miami Heat on Wednesday, center Rudy Gobert was the final player to field questions from the media near his locker.
“How excited are you for this Mexico trip man?” one reporter asked.
“Muy bien,” the 7-foot-1 Frenchman responded, with a smile.
Translation: “very well” excited.
As Gobert and the Jazz prepare to face the Orlando Magic on Saturday, it’ll mark the first time the franchise has competed in a regular season contest in Mexico City.
“There are a lot of fans there, and I’ve never been to Mexico City so I’m excited,” Gobert said.
