In 56 games, Gobert carried 2017-18 averages of 13.5 points, 10.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.3 blocks per game. Utah's star big man dealt with injuries to both knees in that season, however, so he missed 26 games throughout the middle of the campaign. Still, the "French Rejection", despite missing time, took home the 2017-18 Defensive Player Of The Year Award, Gobert's first piece of individual hardware in five seasons in The Association. Gobert also finished the year with a true shooting percentage of 65.7, the third-best mark in the league. The Frenchman also posted 31 double-doubles over the 2017-18 campaign, including a season-high 17 rebounds on March 5. Gobert's season-high for points came a few days before his rebounding clinic, on March 2, when the seven-foot-one center poured in 26 points to help the Jazz defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves, 116-108. Named to the NBA's All-Defensive First Team, Gobert finished the season with 129 blocks, fourth-most in the Association which is impressive considering Gobert's injury problems resulted in a shortened season for the 25-year-old. He reached double figures in 43 of 56 games, making Gobert an effective and reliable contributor both in reality and fantasy leagues. His 7.9 field-goal attempts per game represented a career-high for Gobert. In both block percentage (6.0) and Defensive Rating (99.5), Gobert finished the 2017-18 season ranked second in the NBA.

He made his season debut on Opening Night, Oct. 25, and scored six points while grabbing 12 rebounds in a close loss to Detroit.

Gobert was sidelined for much of December with a left knee injury he suffered in practice. He returned Jan. 7 against Houston, scoring six points and adding three rebounds in just over 15 minutes of play. Gobert was at his best on Jan. 16, scoring 18 points and grabbing 18 rebounds as the Jazz dominated the Los Angeles Lakers to the tune of a 27-point victory.

On Jan. 9, the French center blocked a career-high seven shots, plus added seven boards, three steals and three assists at OKC. Gobert's best game of the season came in a March 3 victory over Memphis, during which he scored 15 points and grabbed an astounding career-high 24 rebounds.That set off a torrid month of play which saw Gobert grab 22, 19 and 20 rebounds in consecutive games -- all victories for Utah. Gobert started the last 29 games of the season with the Jazz. Over that 29-game stretch, Gobert put up 11.1 points and 13.4 rebounds per contest. Twice in April he scored a career-high 20 points, including a 20-point, 17-rebound effort during a home win over the Mavericks.

Gobert was selected by the Denver Nuggets in the first round (27th pick) of the 2013 NBA Draft. He was later traded to the Jazz in a draft-day deal featuring Erick Green, and signed a rookie contract shortly thereafter. Gobert participated in 45 games with Utah as a rookie, coming off the bench each time and averaging 9.6 minutes per contest. Gobert made his NBA debut on opening night in 2013, Oct. 30, scoring two points and adding seven rebounds as Utah fell to Oklahoma City by three. He collected a season-best 11 rebounds Nov. 5 against Brooklyn, breaking that mark three days later with a 12-rebound effort against the Bulls. Gobert reached double figures in points for the first time in his career a few weeks afterwards, scoring 10 (3-3 FG, 4-9 FT) in a Nov. 24 contest against the Thunder. That ended up being the best scoring effort of his rookie campaign. The next day against Chicago, Gobert accounted for nine rebounds as Utah took down Chicago by six. He finished the year with one of his best statistical performances yet, an eight-point, nine-rebound performance that also included a pair of blocks. On another positive note, Gobert showed flashes of what he could do defensively in his inaugural NBA season. He collected a total of 41 blocks in his limited time on the court, which led to a per-36 average of 3.4 rejections per contest.
