Rudy Gobert exited the Utah Jazz’s game against the Boston Celtics on Friday night with an injury to his left knee.
During the first quarter, Gobert’s leg was rolled into by teammate Derrick Favors, sending the Utah center to the floor. He grabbed his knee while on the floor before getting to his feet. Below is video of what happened.

Gobert was able to walk to the locker room on his own to be examined. He was later ruled out for the game by the Jazz.
