After the Nuggets eliminated the Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs, center Rudy Gobert vowed to have "the best summer" of his career.
Before last season, Gobert said his left knee never felt 100%, and nagging injuries popped up for him throughout the season, including back spasms that limited him at times in the postseason.
"I can really plan on having the best summer I've ever had and really come back like I want to have the best year of my career next season," Gobert said. "I know that this summer I'm going to put myself in positions that I've never put myself in before."
As part of his offseason regimen, Gobert took a page out of the playbook of Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
On Thursday, Gobert posted a photo on Instagram (@RudyGobert27) of what appears to be a tiny cabin in the middle of the woods.
"64 hours in full darkness," Gobert wrote in the caption. "One of the most powerful experiences i've had in this lifetime. Thank you @skycaveretreats."
The company Sky Cave Retreats advertises these dark retreats in southern Oregon, and they gained notoriety thanks in part to Rodgers, who said he embarked on one of their retreats before deciding his future NFL plans this offseason.
On its website, Sky Cave Retreats said those who enter a dark room are served two organic meals daily, and they cater to guests' other dietary requests. There is a bathroom with hot spring water. The cabin is out of cell phone service but there is WiFi in case of emergencies, located a quarter of a mile from any other dwellings.
