SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – In the wake of a huge Utah snowstorm that closed several roads in the valley, the Utah Jazz cancelled their morning shootaround prior to their game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Apparently Jazz center Rudy Gobert didn’t get the message.
Twitter user and Jazz fan Taylor Griffin made note of the hilarious miscommunication by checking Twitter and Gobert’s Instagram Story.

Obviously, there was a miscommunication.
