Questionable Monday at Dallas Gobert (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's game at Dallas.

Impact Gobert has been bothered by a sore right groin over the last several days, and it caused him to miss Wednesday's game at Utah. He was able to play Friday night at Memphis (eight points, 10 rebounds and two blocks in 29 minutes), but the Wolves will re-evaluate him Monday before making a final call on his status. Following Monday's contest, Minnesota is off Tuesday and Wednesday before finishing out its pre-All-Star-break schedule Thursday against Washington.

Good to go Gobert (groin) is available and in the starting lineup for Friday's game in Memphis.

Impact Gobert is coming off a one-game absence on the second night of a back-to-back set due to groin soreness. The team was seemingly erring on the side of caution with their star back man. Look for him to play his usual role at center assuming he avoids any setbacks.

Ruled out Wednesday Gobert (groin) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Impact Gobert will sit out the closing leg of the back-to-back set Wednesday with groin soreness. Naz Reid can be expected to slide into the first unit, while Nathan Knight and Luka Garza should see some run off the bench. Gobert's next chance to play will come Friday in Memphis.

Questionable at Utah Gobert (groin) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Gobert continues to deal with a sore groin and is a candidate to sit out on the second night of the back-to-back. However, he played just 19 minutes during Tuesday's blowout loss to the Nuggets, so he's fresher than usual for the second game in a back-to-back.

Starting against Denver Gobert (groin) is in the starting lineup Tuesday against Denver.

Impact Gobert has been carrying a lot of questionable tags lately, but he's missed only one game since Jan. 23. Unlike in Minnesota's last meeting with Denver, Gobert will have his hands full with Nikola Jokic back from injury.

Questionable Tuesday Gobert (groin) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Gobert continues to deal with a sore right groin, but he's been able to suit up in the last two games after being listed as questionable. He's seen a slight decrease in playing time over his last two outings but has remained productive, averaging 15.5 points and 7.5 rebounds in 22.0 minutes per game over that stretch.

Impact Gobert was questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup but will be able to suit up despite his right groin soreness. Over his last six appearances, he's averaged 14.3 points and 12.7 rebounds in 33.8 minutes per game.

Questionable to play Sunday Gobert has been downgraded to questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Nuggets due to right groin soreness.

Impact The towering big man hasn't exactly set the world on fire in his first season with the Timberwolves, but losing him before a matchup against Nikola Jokic is less than ideal. If Gobert can't go Sunday, then Naz Reid would be in line for a bigger role. Gobert is averaging just 11.4 points and 10.7 rebounds per game across his last 10 outings.

Cleared to play Gobert has been cleared to play against the Magic on Friday despite right groin soreness.

Impact Minnesota's starting center is back from a one-game absence. Gobert was logging heavy minutes in his previous five games, so it's possible the Timberwolves were just being cautious Wednesday against the Warriors. Naz Reid will shift back to the bench and will see his fantasy value take a significant hit.

Questionable vs. Magic Gobert (groin) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Magic, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.

Impact Gobert missed Wednesday's overtime win over the Warriors due to right groin soreness -- an injury he's been dealing with since mid-January. He's played well when available, averaging 14.2 points, 13.8 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.4 assists across his past five appearances. If the center sits out again Friday, Naz Reid, Nathan Knight and Luka Garza remain candidates to see expanded roles.

Ruled out Wednesday Gobert (groin) won't play in Wednesday's matchup with the Warriors.

Impact Gobert has been dealing with lingering soreness in his right groin and will be held out of Wednesday's tilt after playing through the issue in each of the team's previous five contests. Naz Reid will step into the first unit and immediately become a top streaming option and daily fantasy play while Nathan Knight and Luka Garza figure to vie for the backup center run. Gobert's next opportunity to suit up will come Friday against the Magic.

Slowly but surely, Rudy Gobert's defensive excellence meshes with Timberwolves The defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors are next up for the veteran center and his team.

FEBRUARY 1, 2023 • STARTRIBUNE.COM

Questionable versus Golden State Gobert is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Warriors due to right groin soreness.

Impact Gobert has received questionable tags in each of his last five games due to his groin soreness before being upgraded to available. It seems likely that this will be the case Wednesday, as there have been no reports of his injury worsening. Gobert is averaging 14.2 points, 13.8 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.4 assists in 35.4 minutes across his last five outings. It will still be worth checking back on the rim-protecting big man's status ahead of the 8 PM ET opening tipoff.

Efficient double-double in loss Gobert ended Monday's 118-111 overtime loss to Sacramento with 19 points (7-9 FG, 5-10 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 40 minutes.

Impact Gobert continues to play through a groin issue, registering his fourth double-double in the past five games. While he remains a regular fixture on the injury report, he has logged at least 32 minutes in every game since returning from his groin injury, an indication that the Timberwolves are simply monitoring his situation. His production does appear to be increasing, albeit at a snail's pace, giving managers hope that he will eventually get back to being a top-30 player.

Starting Monday Gobert (groin) is starting Monday's contest against the Kings.

Impact After being viewed as questionable, Gobert will officially make his fifth straight appearance for the Timberwolves. The 30-year-old center is averaging 12.3 points, 11.2 rebounds and 1.5 blocks over 29.6 minutes across his first 12 appearances in January. He may still be dealing with some lingering discomfort in his groin, but for now fantasy managers should feel comfortable starting Gobert in weekly leagues.

Impact Gobert has been dealing with a sore right groin recently but has appeared in the last four games, averaging 13.0 points and 13.8 rebounds in 34.3 minutes per game. If he'd be unavailable Monday, Naz Reid would presumably see increased run for Minnesota.
