Rudy Gobert: To come off the bench Thursday

Gobert (knee) will not start but is available to play Thursday versus the Rockets, Aaron Falk of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Gobert has been out of action since Nov. 30, which has resulted in 18 games missed. He will be active Thursday in Houston, but in a reserve role and under a minute restriction. While this is obviously great news for Gobert owners, it would still be wise to wait on putting him back in your lineups until he works his way back into game shape a bit.
