Rudy Gobert News, Rumors, Updates - Minnesota Timberwolves

Stellar numbers continue in win Gobert closed Tuesday's 121-109 win over Portland with 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and one block over 37 minutes.

Impact Gobert is on a six-game double-double streak and has hit those milestones against tough competition. He had less trouble against Deandre Ayton and the Portland frontcourt, although Ayton had 16 rebounds to Gobert's 15 boards. Minnesota will match up with Portland again Thursday, and Gobert should enjoy a similar stat line.

Impact Gobert knows most of his value will come on the defensive end and the glass, as he holds a secondary role in Minnesota's offensive scheme behind Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards, but he has been a steady double-double producer of late. The Frenchman has posted seven double-doubles over his last 10 games, a span in which he's averaging 14.8 points, 13.4 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per contest.

Available, starting Sunday Gobert (ankle) is starting Sunday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Gobert was questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup, but he'll be able to take the floor once again despite his ankle injury. He was also cleared to suit up Friday against Orlando despite a questionable tag, and he totaled 22 points, 16 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 39 minutes.

Impact Gobert led all players in Friday's contest in rebounds and free throws made while ending with a team-high-tying point total and as the one Timberwolves player with a double-double in a losing effort.

He has now posted a double-double in eight of his last 10 contests.

Will play Friday Gobert (ankle) will play in Friday's game against Orlando, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.

Impact Gobert has been very durable this season, missing a total of one game. There's no word of any restrictions, but Minnesota will likely watch his ankle closely. In his most recent outing against Dallas on Wednesday, Gobert had 17 points, six rebounds and two blocks in 28 minutes.

Dealing with ankle sprain Gobert is questionable for Friday's game against the Magic due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Gobert has missed just one game this season, but his availability for Friday is in jeopardy after being a late addition to the injury report. If the starting center is sidelined, Naz Reid would presumably be the primary beneficiary, even if he doesn't move into the starting lineup. In Gobert's lone absence this season, Kyle Anderson replaced Gobert in the starting lineup, moving Karl-Anthony Towns to center, but Reid posted 19 points, 10 rebounds and three assists in 37 minutes off the bench during a 127-120 overtime loss to Boston.

Racks up 18 rebounds Gobert totaled seven points (1-6 FG, 5-8 FT), 18 rebounds and two assists across 33 minutes during Saturday's 102-97 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Gobert posted 18-plus rebounds for the fifth time this season, and he's now averaging 14.0 rebounds across his last 10 games. The lack of scoring is disappointing from a putback-threat standpoint, especially in the context of Gobert averaging 19.4 points on 72.3 percent shooting across his last five games entering Saturday. Gobert is amid a strong stretch, but his season-long 66.2 percent shooting at the rim is his lowest mark since the 2015-16 campaign.

Gobert is averaging 13.9 points, 13.7 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game in seven January appearances.
