Back on the court after submitting to the NBA‘s anti-Covid protocol, Rudy Gobert participated in the match between Utah and Denver on Sunday evening. The French Jazz pivot scored an incredible shot almost 20m from the opposing arch, but the buzzer had already sounded.
Rudy Gobert finds his family after 5 missed matches
Away from the field since January 7 due to the anti-Covid protocol of the NBA, Rudy Gobert missed five matches of theUtah Jazz. Without the player, the team posted a record of four defeats for a single victory. Sunday evening, the French international pivot, in form, was able to join his family to face Denver.
A new basket, but which unfortunately does not count
This comeback has not gone unnoticed. Rudy Gobert scored one of the most unlikely field goals of the year. From his own free throw line, nearly 20 meters from the opposing hoop, he took a one-handed shot at the very end of the second quarter, but it was just after the buzzer. The player could have signed the first three-point basket of his career.
