Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert played well in Thursday's preseason win over the Mavs in Abu Dhabi. The multi-time Defensive Player of the Year fell short of a double-double, amassing nine points and eight rebounds. However, he made up for it by accumulating three blocks. With Karl-Anthony Towns, who had a team-high 20 points in this one, and Anthony Edwards expected to be the top producers offensively for the Wolves this season, Gobert could suffer in that area. But he can still be...

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert sees a lot of upside in the team. "I think we have the potential to be really, really good," Gobert told EuroHoops. "I think we're going to have a good training camp. Build good habits. I think we have the potential to be a top-two defensive team. And I don't need to talk about how talented we are offensively. If we come in with the mindset of doing whatever it takes to have the team win and holding each other accountable while doing that, I think we're...

The Denver Nuggets went through a rare trade while they play in the NBA Finals for various picks in the next handful of drafts, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The Nuggets acquired the least favorable of the Thunder's first-round picks in 2024, the 37th pick in the 2023 draft, and a 2024 second-round pick for a protected first-round pick in 2029. The Thunder still have one of the biggest war chests of picks next to the Utah Jazz after the Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell trades. This ...

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (back) is listed as questionable for Game 3 against the Denver Nuggets on Friday. The big man has been dealing with a lingering back issue lately, but continues to play through it. The Wolves are already down 0-2 in the series, so losing Gobert certainly wouldn't help. Karl-Anthony Towns would likely shift over to center with Kyle Anderson and Taurean Prince getting more minutes at the power forward spot.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (back) is questionable to play Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. Gobert is dealing with some back spasms which may cause him to sit Game Two of their playoff series. With Naz Reid (wrist) already out, Kyle Anderson would be the likely next man up if Gobert is unable to go. Karl-Anthony Towns would likely slide over to the center position.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (back) is questionable ahead of the postseason meeting with the Nuggets. The 30-year-old has battled back spasms of late. However, he was still out there for the play-in game versus OKC on Friday, finishing with a double-double in 33 minutes of work. It will be surprising if Gobert isn't available for Game 1. But considering he could be limited due to the injury while squaring off with MVP candidate Nikola Jokic, DFS managers may want to avoid having ...

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (back) is eligible to return to the court after serving his one-game suspension. However, head coach Chris Finch said Gobert's status is uncertain for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. It sounds like the big man is dealing with back spasms. This is a playoff game, so the assumption is that Gobert will play even at less than 100 percent. If not, Karl-Anthony Towns will likely shift over to center with Taurean Prince and Kyle Anderson ...

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert has been suspended one game for his actions during Sunday's contest. The 30-year-old big man punched fellow teammate Kyle Anderson while in the huddle. In response, Gobert has been suspended for Tuesday's play-in matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. A tough blow to the T-Wolves who are already without Jaden McDaniels (wrist) as well. The expectation is that Karl-Anthony Towns will take over Gobert's spot in the rotation. That means, Kyle Anderson ...

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert didn't return to Sunday's meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans after punching teammate Kyle Anderson during a huddle. It's unknown how the team will address the situation. The league may also impose a punishment. As a result, Gobert may not be in the lineup on Tuesday for the play-in matchup against the Lakers. If that's the case, Karl-Anthony Towns will likely take Gobert's spot in the middle, with Kyle Anderson or Taurean Prince entering the ...

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ankle) is listed as questionable with a left ankle sprain for Monday's contest against the New York Knicks. The French seven-footer has been questionable in 52 games this season and has played in 67% of those. Probability-wise, he should play, especially considering that he played 30 minutes in their last game despite being questionable in that one too. If he does have to stay on the sidelines, Naz Reid (calf) would be a big streaming option if he ...
