Gobert (ankle) is good to go for Wednesday's game versus Memphis.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert will power through an ankle issue and should be slated for his usual minutes, which diminishes the appeal of Naz Reid as a potential streaming option. Gobert managers can go ahead and get him active.

Gobert is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies due to a left ankle sprain.
EDGE Analysis
After being upgraded to available Tuesday, a left ankle sprain has Gobert in danger of missing the second half of Minnesota's back-to-back Wednesday. If the 31-year-old center is ruled out, Naz Reid will likely receive increased playing time in his absence.

Gobert finished Tuesday's 114-105 victory over San Antonio with 13 points (6-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists and four blocks across 39 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert returned to the court after missing Minnesota's previous contest with a left ankle sprain, leading all players in Tuesday's contest in rebounds while pacing the Timberwolves in blocks en route to a double-double performance. Gobert has recorded at least 10 points and 15 rebounds in 16 games this season, including in two straight outings. He has now tallied at least four blocks in 11 appearances.

Gobert (ankle) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against San Antonio, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert's status is pivotal for Minnesota with Karl-Anthony Towns inactive while tending to a personal matter. Naz Reid could be in line for a sizable workload, while Victor Wembanyama could be in line for a feeding frenzy if Gobert is unable to suit up.

Gobert (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against San Antonio.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert is at risk of missing his second consecutive game due to a left ankle sprain, but he practiced Monday and appears to be trending in the right direction. Nonetheless, his status will need to be monitored in advance of Tuesday's showdown against his French compatriot Victor Wembanyama.

Coach Chris Finch said Gobert (ankle) practiced Monday and is "feeling good," Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert sprained his ankle during Friday's loss to the Bucks and didn't play during Saturday's win over the Nets. His return to practice is a good sign, but it sounds like he'll still wind up on Minnesota's initial injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup versus the Spurs, which should drop Monday afternoon.

Gobert (ankle) will not play in Saturday's game against the Nets, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert suffered an ankle injury Friday against the Bucks, but he was carrying a questionable tag prior to this update, which suggests that he's likely day-to-day. Fortunately for Minnesota, they have two days off after Saturday's contest. Karl-Anthony Towns is likely to get more minutes at center Saturday, with guys like Naz Reid, Kyle Anderson and Jaden McDaniels potentially soaking up more minutes as well.

Gobert (ankle) has drawn a questionable designation ahead of Saturday's game against the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert sprained his ankle during Friday's 112-107 loss to the Bucks. The big man finished the contest with 12 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 FT), 19 rebounds and two blocks, and he played through the injury. With a quick turnaround for Saturday's tilt, the star big man's status will presumably depend on how he is feeling closer to tipoff. If he ultimately has to sit out, Naz Reid would likely be the prime beneficiary, while Karl-Anthony Towns could also see some extra run at center.

Gobert said he sprained an ankle in Friday's loss to the Bucks but should be fine, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert played 38 minutes in the loss and didn't appear to be limited by the injury, so he may be able to play Saturday against the Nets. However, it bears watching his status before tipoff, and he may be given limited minutes even if he does play. Gobert scored 12 points with 19 rebounds, two blocks and assist in the the loss Friday.
