Gobert and the Jazz faced the Heat in the second of Utah’s three scrimmages prior to the restart of the 2019-20 season at Disney World in Orlando, Florida.
The two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year stuffed Herro’s attempt at the basket with 7:21 remaining on the clock until the fourth quarter.
Gobert was initially whistled for a foul on the play before Jazz head coach Quin Snyder challenged the ruling.
After a review of the Jazz center’s contest against Herro, the call was reversed and the foul removed from Gobert’s stat line.
