Tibor Pleiss probably going to get recalled from Idaho. At least Booker proved to play well with the starters. Seems like playing Orlando is bad luck. Day before last Orlando game, Rudy sprains an ankle. The day before this upcoming Orlando game, Rudy sprains his knee.

I don't think Grade II sprains are a huge deal, probably like max recovery of about 5 weeks.

According to the internet, a grade 2 MCL tear takes 2-4 weeks to heal. I'm not sure if a sprain is the same, but it seems like a relatively minor injury.

A grade 2 tear can take from two to four weeks to heal

Could have been worse. A lot worse.

They need to sit him until he's fully healthy, even if it means they lose some games in the process. This is where the Jazz lack of depth is a major, major issue.

Time to stop letting Rudy practice.

I think it will be 6 weeks, the Jazz will not take chances on Gobert especially with Withey and Pleiss available.

Oh, 5 weeks seems major to me. This sucks.

I guess you woulda said this no matter who was backing him up, huh? Our depth definitely does not make me feel alright about this injury.
