RUDY GOBERT NEWS

Aberration occurs Gobert notched four points (4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 31 minutes during Monday's 105-101 win over the Heat. He did not log a field-goal attempt.

Impact Gobert received just 11 passes all night. For comparison, Anthony Edwards led with 87 and Jaylen Nowell received 23 passes in his nine minutes of action. Monday marked the first time since 2014 that Gobert didn't attempt a shot. He hit two clutch free throws to help Utah win the game, but his usage is clearly baffling at times.

Double-doubles in return Gobert notched 25 points (8-11 FG, 9-11 FT), 11 rebounds and three blocks across 30 minutes in Wednesday's 129-117 loss against the Suns.

Impact Gobert missed three straight games after entering the league's health and safety protocols, but he looked impressive in his return en route to posting his fourth double-double of the campaign. He's still adjusting to playing alongside Karl-Anthony Towns, and his numbers have taken a minor hit, but this was a clear step in the right direction, both in terms of efficiency and his final output.

Impact After two missed games, Gobert returned to practice Tuesday, and there seems to be little concern regarding his conditioning.

Expect the Timberwolves to release an official status on his availability after practice Tuesday or sometime after shootaround Wednesday.
