Utah Jazz: Rudy Gobert expected to miss 3-4 weeks

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert suffered a posterior cruciate ligament sprain in his left knee and will miss three to four weeks, multiple media outlets reported Saturday.

Gobert sustained his injury early in the first quarter of Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. Teammate Derrick Favors appeared to roll over the back of Gobert's leg, causing the injury. He was helped off the court.

X-rays were negative, but an MRI on Saturday revealed the damage.

Gobert is averaging 11.6 points, 9.6 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game this season.

Gobert had his best season in 2016-17, when he was named to the NBA All-Defensive first team.

He recently missed 11 games with a bone bruise in his right knee.

Favors was also injured against the Celtics, suffering a cut around his eye, and is listed as questionable for Saturday night's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Jonas Jerebko will likely move into the starting lineup to fill the opening left by Gobert. The Jazz recalled Tony Bradley from the Salt Lake Stars of the G League.
