The Utah Jazz guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker said he will miss playing on one team with  All-Star Rudy Gobert, who got recently traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

"I did message him when [the trade] happened," Alexander-Walker said. "He was a good guy. When I first got there, he welcomed me," the Jazz guard added.

Alexander-Walker has also explained why he will miss playing with Gobert so much.

"What he does on the court is special,” Walked-Alexander said. "His ability to affect damn near every shot," the guard continued.

"So, you're always going to miss playing with someone like that," Alexander-Walker explained.

Alexander-Walker was with the Jazz since January, when he got traded from the Portland Trail Blazers, previously playing nearly three seasons with the New Orleans Pelicans.
