Rudy Gobert: “We came a long way in our chemistry. I would say it really starts with Ant and Julius. The way they’ve been playing, and the way they’ve been making the right play for the teammates has been having a tremendous impact for us.” – 1:55 AM

NEW: Five years ago today, Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19, and the NBA shut down, signaling to many the start of the pandemic in America. After dozens of interviews, @espn_macmahon and I reconstructed the events of that day. espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 12:28 PM

“I’m of the mind-set where you have to play it out and see what [happens],” he said. “You never know.” Even when he’s not playing, the intentions are pure, as coach Erik Spoelstra would say. “If I can impart any of that [knowledge] to any of these guys” that’s a positive, he said. “I’ve been lucky; I’ve done very well. I want to help them. Veterans matter.” -via Miami Herald / March 6, 2025
Chris Hine: Rudy Gobert is back and in the starting lineup. Julius Randle remains in the starting lineup. Naz Reid will come off the bench. Conley also remains in the starting lineup. -via Twitter @ChristopherHine / March 9, 2025
“There’s a number of French players in the NBA right now – younger players – that are very talented and competitive, and you can see their progression and see how their career is going to have that arc,” Snyder said. “We have one of them on our team in Zacch. Like I’ve said before, his competitiveness is unique, especially for his age. Rudy [Gobert] had that level of fight in him. Rudy was incredibly competitive. anybody that watches Rudy and Zacch play, they’re different players, but they’re very unique.” Snyder coached Gobert when he was on the Utah Jazz, and he watched him turn into a Defensive Player of the Year. He also was able to coach Boris Diaw, who was known as a “do it all” type of player when he was in the league. -via Clutch Points / March 8, 2025
