Jazz's Rudy Gobert: Enters health and safety protocols

Gobert (shoulder) entered the league's health and safety protocols Thursday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Gobert has been dominant recently with double-doubles in each of his last 14 appearances. He was forced to miss Wednesday's game against the Nuggets due to a shoulder injury and will now miss more time due to the league's COVID-19 protocols. It's not yet clear whether Gobert has tested positive for the virus, but Hassan Whiteside (concussion), Udoka Azubuike and Eric Paschall should see increased run in his absence.
