Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert said he sprained his ankle in Friday's contest against Milwaukee but isn't overly worried about the injury. The French giant logged 38 minutes in a 112-107 loss and finished with 12 points, 19 rebounds, and two blocks. It looks like Gorbert feels ready to go on Saturday when the T-Wolves complete a back-to-back set against the Nets, but fantasy managers will need to keep a close eye on official lineup news. Naz Reid would be in line for a boost in playing time without Gobert.
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ankle) is available ahead of Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets. The big man has been cleared to play after being listed as questionable heading into the contest. Gobert was dealing with a left ankle sprain but is expected to play his normal role on Sunday. He'll play alongside Mike Conley, Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels, and Karl-Anthony Towns. Fantasy managers can feel safe plugging Gobert back into their lineups on Sunday.
Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch says center Rudy Gobert (hip) is out on Wednesday against the Boston Celtics. Gobert is dealing with soreness in his left hip and will sit out on the second half of Minnesota's back-to-back set. Though some of the luster from this clash of the titans may be dissipated with Kristaps Porzingis (knee) also out for Boston, Gobert's absence is a big upgrade for the outlooks of Al Horford and the Celtics' ability to penetrate the paint. Karl-Anthony Towns would figure to be joined in the starting frontcourt by per-minute machine Naz Reid, who deserves plenty of DFS attention on Wednesday. In 12 games without Gobert in 2022-23, Reid averaged 16.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.7 treys, and 2.4 combined steals and blocks. Point forward Kyle Anderson should also get more playing time to match up with a Celts squad missing their top big man.
