Rudy Gobert will return for Clippers-Jazz Game 4

Rudy Gobert will return for the Utah Jazz’s Game 4 matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers after missing the series’ first three games with a knee injury.

Gobert hyperextended his left knee and suffered a bone bruise just 11 seconds into Game 1 after colliding with Luc Mbah a Moute. He was originally listed as doubtful for Game 4, but was upgraded to questionable Sunday afternoon.

The Jazz will certainly benefit from the big man’s return, as they’ve struggled to slow down DeAndre Jordan after stealing Game 1 in Los Angeles. Now down 2-1 in their first-round series, they’ll need every bit of help they can muster to get past Chris Paul and the Clippers.

With Blake Griffin suffering a season-ending toe injury in Game 3, Gobert’s presence could shift the tide of this series back into Utah’s favor.
