Rudy Gobert said he’s grateful to the Utah Jazz for giving him a chance, that those 9 years were a big part of his life. As for facing the Jazz tonight: “It says ‘Utah’ on the Jersey, but …” pic.twitter.com/x6vV3oFXgR – 1:49 PM

Four months after being traded from the Utah Jazz, the team he spent nine years with, Rudy Gobert acknowledged there will be some weirdness to facing them for the first time Friday, but that he’s happy in his new situation with the Minnesota Timberwolves. sltrib.com/sports/jazz/20… – 1:42 PM

Jaden McDaniels on guarding PnR with Rudy Gobert behind him:
“Really I just be listening to his calls. When he’s telling me to go out, I know he’s right there. So kind of baiting it a little bit for him to go up against him and I just fan out. It’s just good knowing he’s there.” pic.twitter.com/KyyUXtyR27 – 4:38 PM

Finch on boosting Rudy Gobert’s usage:
“We have more than just PnR to try to find him. KAT found him on at least 3 or 4 of his baskets that were at the rim. I think that’s the kind of dynamic we thought we would be able to develop. It looks like early returns were pretty strong.” pic.twitter.com/l9ClrASeF7 – 4:15 PM

More on this storyline
Eric Walden: Rudy Gobert: “I’m really happy. … Everything happens for a reason.” And on Clarkson’s vow to “bust his ass” on a switch: “I’m going to make sure I end up on a switch! He definitely has all the tools to give me a few buckets, but I’ll try to make sure they’re not easy ones.” -via Twitter @tribjazz / October 21, 2022
Sarah Todd: Rudy Gobert said that he saw Mike Conley last night and that he considers him and Jordan Clarkson and Rudy Gay to be his friends. Tho…it’ll be weird to face a team that really isn’t his old team. “It says Utah on the jersey, but Quin’s not there and it’s different.” -via Twitter @NBASarah / October 21, 2022
Dane Moore: Chris Finch said everyone practiced today, including Rudy Gobert, who bruised his knee in the opener. “We managed the minutes for some of those guys from last night. But we did a lot of technical stuff today in practice more than all out. He practiced when we needed him to.” -via Twitter @DaneMooreNBA / October 20, 2022
