This sucks—the Utah Jazz announced Wednesday night that center Rudy Gobert suffered a Grade II sprain of the medical collateral ligament in his left knee.
The big fella is out indefinitely.
Thanks for your support everybody. I will work hard to get back on the court stronger and as soon as my knee is ready to go!

I also have 100% faith in my teammates to overcome this, nothing will slow us down. #gojazz

From the press release:
After sustaining a left knee injury during today’s practice at Zions Bank Basketball Center, Gobert underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) this afternoon at University of Utah Health Care’s Orthopaedic Center. Following the examination, Jazz physicians Dr. Travis Maak and Dr. David Petron determined that Gobert suffered a Grade II sprain of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) in his left knee.
No surgery is required and Gobert will be out indefinitely. Further updates will be provided when appropriate.
