The Oklahoma City Thunder should be used to seeing Rudy Gobert in a nice suit. Over the course of the season, the Utah Jazz center had to make too many sartorial choices that fulfilled the NBA’s dress code for injured players on the bench.
Gobert was again dressed to the nines for Russell Westbrook and company Monday night, sporting a slim-cut black jacket with a pink pocket square to match his shirt. This time, though, Gobert was in the seat he preferred, one on the podium after another playoff victory.
Gobert notched a double-double (16 points, 10 rebounds) in his team’s Game 4 win over the Thunder, a victory that has the Jazz one win away from eliminating OKC and advancing to the second round.
