Gobert stung by bee from his own hive

Rudy Gobert is dealing with an unexpected injury ahead of Game 6 of the Utah Jazz's series against the Dallas Mavericks.

The Jazz big man told reporters Thursday that he was stung by a bee on the nose two days earlier while changing the queen out of the hive he owns. He said it was the third time he's been stung, but emphasized that there are health benefits associated with bee stings.

"It was seven guys. But I'm the only one who came out of the room," Gobert said, according to Eric Walden of the Salt Lake Tribune.

Gobert also shared a photo on Instagram showing some swelling on his face.

The Jazz enter Thursday's game trailing the Mavs 3-2.
