Posts double-double in return Gobert (foot) racked up 18 points (6-8 FG, 6-8 FT), 14 rebounds and one steal in 32 minutes during Monday's 117-111 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Gobert missed Utah's previous game with a foot injury, but he was able to log 32 minutes Monday. The All-Star center somewhat surprisingly didn't block any shots, but he was otherwise up to his usual production, grabbing double-digit boards for the 10th straight contest. Gobert leads the NBA with 14.7 rebounds per game on the season and is shooting a league-best 71.3 percent from the field while averaging 15.5 points and 2.2 blocks.

Cleared to play Gobert (foot) is available for Monday's game against Milwaukee.

Impact Gobert stated earlier in the day that he intended on playing, and he's now officially gained clearance after missing one game with a foot injury. The big man has been a force down low of late, tallying a double-double in six of his last seven games while averaging 2.0 blocks over that stretch.

Plans to play Monday Gobert (foot) said after the team's morning shootaround that he's planning on playing in Monday's game against the Bucks, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Gobert is officially listed as questionable, but there continues to be optimism that he'll be available Monday after being a late scratch ahead of Saturday's win over the Kings. Over his last eight appearances, the big man has averaged 14.1 points, 14.4 rebounds and 2.1 blocks in 31.0 minutes per game.

Officially questionable for Monday Gobert (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bucks.

Impact As expected, the big man remains on the injury report, but there's optimism, per ESPN's Tim MacMahon, that Gobert will not miss any additional time beyond Saturday night's game against the Kings. Look for Gobert to test out the foot during shootaround before the Jazz issue an update.

Optimism surrounding foot injury Per Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com, there's optimism that Gobert will not miss any more time due to the left foot strain that caused him to be a late scratch Saturday.

Impact This would obviously be great news for Gobert's fantasy managers, but he's still not out of the woods yet. There likely won't be an official word from the Jazz until they release their initial injury report for Monday's matchup against the Bucks.

Ruled out Saturday Gobert will miss Saturday's game against Sacramento with a left foot metatarsal Phalangeal joint sprain, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact This is the first we've heard of Gobert suffering a foot injury, and it's unclear at this time how long it will keep the big man sidelined. It would obviously be a big blow to Gobert's fantasy managers if he's forced to miss additional time with the fantasy playoffs fast approaching. The All-Star center leads the league with 14.7 rebounds and ranks second with 2.2 blocks per game on the season.

Turns aside five shots in loss Gobert finished with 13 points (2-3 FG, 9-10 FT), 16 rebounds, five blocks and one assist in 32 minutes Friday in the Jazz's 104-102 loss to the Spurs.

Impact The five rejections were Gobert's most since Dec. 18 and one off a new season high. While fantasy managers have to expect sterling blocks production from Gobert, the stellar free-throw shooting Friday was a more pleasant surprise. Gobert is converting at a substandard 68.9 percent rate for the season, but that still represents an improvement of more than six percentage points from his 2020-21 mark.

Double-doubles with three blocks Gobert accumulated 12 points (3-5 FG, 6-6 FT), 13 rebounds and three blocks over 34 minutes during Monday's 111-103 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Gobert played through a calf injury, finishing with yet another double-double. Given his body of work this season, managers should see this as his fantasy floor moving forward. While he was able to get on the floor Monday, his calf issue is something to monitor over the coming weeks after he missed nine games as a result of the same injury earlier in the season.

Gets green light Gobert (calf) is available to play Monday against Dallas.

Impact Gobert has been dealing with left calf soreness, but it won't force him to miss Monday's matchup. He's averaging 15.8 points, 15.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.8 blocks over his last five games.

Dealing with calf soreness Gobert is questionable for Monday's contest against the Mavericks due to left calf soreness, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Impact Gobert finished Sunday's win over the Thunder with 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 FT), 17 rebounds, one assist and one block in 34 minutes, but he apparently aggravated his calf injury as well. A left calf strain caused Gobert to miss nine consecutive games in February, so the Jazz will likely be extremely cautious with their big man moving forward.

Snags 17 rebounds in win Gobert closed with 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 FT), 17 rebounds, one assist and one block in 34 minutes during Sunday's 116-103 win over the Thunder.

Impact Gobert put up his fifth-consecutive double-double in the victory. The Thunder were helpless to stop Utah's multi-faceted attack, as Gobert kept things in check inside while Bojan Bogdanovic made it rain from downtown with 11 three-pointers.

Smashes Rockets in win Gobert notched 27 points (12-14 FG, 3-4 FT), 17 rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 132-127 overtime victory over the Rockets.

Impact This may sound like a broken record, but Gobert registered a double-double with multiple blocks for the third game in a row. The towering Frenchman continues to be one of the best rim protectors in the league while making the most of his touches on the offensive end. He's scored at least 14 points in all but three contests since the beginning of the new year, averaging 16.8 points on 71.2 percent shooting from the field and 69.8 percent shooting from the charity stripe during that 12-game stretch.
