Rudy Gobert hints Dion Waiters intentionally dove at his knee
Rudy Gobert thinks that Dion Waiters got away with a dirty play on Friday.
The Utah Jazz center suffered a right knee contusion in the third quarter of an 84-74 loss to the Miami Heat when Waiters collided with him on a loose ball.

Gobert was ultimately OK, but the play stuck with him. After the game, the All-NBA big hinted on Twitter that Waiters intentionally dove at his knee.
Dove for the ball right… https://t.co/0xnXZVy2eG

Perhaps the loss and the fact that Waiters scored 12 points in the fourth quarter to close out the game added to Gobert’s disgust. But the All-Defensive First Teamer has had problems with that same knee in the past, so it’s easy to see why he might be upset.
