Rudy Gobert to Waiters: Feelings Aren’t Hurt, Knee is

Rudy Gobert believes he has every right to be upset after sustaining a leg injury that’s expected to keep him out at least four weeks. The Utah Jazz big man went down Friday when Miami Heat guard Dion Waiters crashed into his leg, causing Gobert’s knee to buckle. The 7-foot-1 center initially called it a dirty play.
