Donovan Mitchell to return tomorrow, Rudy Gobert possibly back next week
Tim MacMahon: Jazz star Donovan Mitchell has cleared the NBA’s concussion protocol and is available for tomorrow’s game vs. Nets, per team. Rudy Gobert (calf) remains out, but sources tell ESPN the All-NBA big man hopes to return early next week.

Rudy Gobert should ask Draymond Green to be the presenter at his Hall of Fame induction ceremony. – 9:33 PM Eric Koreen @ekoreen
There are exceptions, but I think despite how much coaches talk defence, they gravitate toward voting for guys they have to game plan toward stopping.
In general, it’s harder for a defensive-minded big to break through. Saw it with Gobert, and is case with Middleton over Allen. – 8:14 PM Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Draymond won’t count out the DPOY despite missing at least 25 games. Makes unnamed reference to Rudy Gobert winning it when playing 56 of 82 games in 2017-18. – 8:06 PM Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
The most fun possible iteration of the All-Star Game would be just picking the captains and letting them draft any player in the NBA.
LeBron using the final pick on Carmelo instead of Rudy Gobert would be the absolute funniest possible Twitter moment relating to the ASG. – 7:36 PM The Vertical @YahooSportsNBA

All-star reserve picks in the West should be pretty obvious: Paul, Booker, Green, Mitchell, Gobert, Doncic, Towns.
Only issue I see is if Green/LeBron injuries force them out, whether injury replacement should be Bridges, Ayton, Murray or Davis. – 10:29 AM Chad Ford @chadfordinsider
