Rudy Gobert could return to the Utah Jazz lineup for Monday's game against the Wizards.

“Well, I defer to our medical group on that,” said Quin Snyder. “We’re going to confer and trust those guys to not do anything to put Rudy in harm’s way and when he’s ready to go he’ll be ready to go.”

Gobert has missed Utah's past 11 games with a bone bruise in his right knee.

Gobert was initially expected to miss at least four weeks but it has been just over three weeks since his injury.

Derrick Favors has played well at center with Gobert out.
