Ekes out double-double Wednesday Gobert recorded 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 115-95 win over the Nuggets.

Impact The double-double was his 26th of the season, and his first in two games since returning to the lineup following a 10-game absence due to back trouble. Gobert's big increase in court time -- he played only 20 minutes Sunday in his return -- is a strong sign he's fully healthy, but his production will likely remain muted as the Minnesota offense continues to flow through Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle.

Questionable to face Denver Gobert (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Gobert made his return from a 10-game absence due to a lower back injury in Sunday's win over the Spurs, during which he posted 16 points (7-8 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 20 minutes. The big man will likely operate under a minutes restriction if he's able to play Wednesday. However, if Gobert is ruled out, Naz Reid and Luka Garza could receive a bump in minutes.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Solid numbers in return Gobert amassed 16 points (7-8 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 20 minutes during Sunday's 141-124 victory over the Spurs.

Impact The veteran center saw his first action since Feb. 12 as he returned from a back issue, and while his minutes were limited, Gobert made up for it with a very efficient performance. Minnesota doesn't platy again until Wednesday and doesn't face a back-to-back until next Sunday and Monday, so Gobert could ramp up to his usual workload fairly quickly.

Available Sunday Gobert (back) will start Sunday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Gobert has missed the last 10 games due to a back injury, but he will make his return Sunday. Considering the amount of time he has missed, it wouldn't be surprising if he is on a minutes restriction as he eases back into play.

Questionable for Sunday Gobert (back) has been listed as questionable for Saturday against the Spurs.
