Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (personal) won't play on Monday against the Nuggets. The multi-time Defensive Player of the Year became a father, so he'll take the night off. He finished Game 1 on Saturday night with 13 boards and three blocks while limiting Nikola Jokic to an 11-for-25 shooting performance. But now that Gobert won't be out there, Jokic's DFS stock just increased significantly. His absence also should mean more work and offensive opportunities for guys like Naz Reid and Nickeil Alexander-Walker behind Jaden McDaniels, Mike Conley, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Anthony Edwards.
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (personal) has landed on the injury report as questionable ahead of Game 2 against Denver on Monday. He became a father for the first time Monday morning. It's unclear if Gobert manages to travel to Denver in time for tip-off. His absence would push Naz Reid to a more prominent role. The 2023-24 Sixth Man of the Year had a nice start to the second-round series, producing 16 points in a 106-99 victory with four rebounds, three assists, and a steal.
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ribs) is good to go for Sunday's matchup against Chicago. He will make a fifth consecutive appearance despite battling a sprained rib. The injury doesn't appear to affect him, as Gobert looked fantastic in his last outing against Nikola Jokic and Denver, tallying 21 points, 12 rebounds, and three blocks. He meets another Balkan big man on Sunday in Nikola Vucevic. Gobert recorded a 12-point, 16-rebound double-double against Vucevic and the Bulls in this season's first head-to-head meeting in February.
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Chicago Bulls. The multi-time Defensive Player of the Year continues to be bothered by a rib injury. But he looked just fine in Friday's much-needed win over the Denver Nuggets and finished with 21 points, 12 rebounds, and three blocks in 35 minutes of work. The Timberwolves have won seven of their previous eight contests and currently sit among the top teams in the Western Conference. Yet, for Minnesota to claim the No. 1 spot heading toward the postseason, Gobert will need to be out there, especially with Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) sidelined. Gobert had trouble scoring the last time these clubs met back in February. However, he still had a 12-point, 16-rebound double-double.
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ribs) will play against Denver on Friday. He has been upgraded from questionable to available as the French pivot continues to play through a left rib sprain. The injury hasn't really affected Gobert, who continues to be a walking double-double and an intimidating defensive presence under the rim. He will have a big role to play in slowing down Nikola Jokic on Friday, and Gobert's offensive efforts might suffer because of it. He posted only four points in his only previous matchup against the Nuggets this season.
