Rudy Gobert doesn’t like to miss games.
The All-Star center was held out of action Saturday with a right knee contusion and was forced to watch as Andre Drummond and the Los Angeles Lakers fought their way to an overtime victory.
“It’s always tough to watch from the sidelines,” Gobert said later.
So when Gobert was cleared to play Monday night, the All-Star center made sure his presence was felt.
In a rematch with the Lakers, Gobert and the Jazz grabbed a 111-97 victory, improving their league-leading record to 43-15.
“Rudy did what he does,” Jazz head coach Quin Snyder said.
