Rudy Gobert might as well be a baseball player. He has the weird injury story down to a science.
The Jazz big man told reporters on Thursday that he suffered a bee sting on his nose this week while changing out the queen for the bee hive on his property. Gobert apparently is a big fan of homegrown, organic honey — or he just wants to be a beekeeper on the side. One of those.
Either way, the sting sounded painful. But despite some swelling, Gobert should be good to go for Thursday’s Game 6 against the Dallas Mavericks. He shared a photo of the sting’s aftermath on Instagram, and honestly it didn’t look too bad. He also seems to be taking it well.
