Gobert (ankle) has been cleared for Friday's game against the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert has been no stranger to questionable tags in recent weeks, but he'll play in his eighth straight contest Friday night. With Minnesota playing again Saturday against the Raptors, it's possible that a maintenance day could be on the table.

Gobert is questionable for Friday's game versus the Bulls due to a left ankle sprain.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert may miss his first game since Feb. 26 on Friday. Naz Reid (calf) and Nathan Knight would be candidates to see extended minutes if Gobert is ruled out.

Gobert ended Wednesday's 104-102 loss to Boston with 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-7 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert missed just two shots from the field in Wednesday's loss, but there's no question the Timberwolves expect -- and need -- more out of him. He's failed to repeat the same numbers he had in past seasons with the Jazz, and the towering Frenchman has taken a step back in most of the major categories this season. He's averaging 16.0 points, 10.7 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game in six March outings.

Gobert (ankle) will play in Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert was initially tabbed questionable Wednesday with a sprained left ankle but has received the green light ahead of the tilt. In his last six appearances, Gobert has averaged 16.2 points, 10.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists over 30.7 minutes.

Gobert (left ankle sprain) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Naz Reid (left calf) is also questionable for Wednesday's game, so if both those guys are forced to the sidelines, Luka Garza could be forced into big minutes and Nathan Knight would have the opportunity for some extended run. Gobert managers will need to check back for another update closer to Wednesday's tip.

Gobert (ankle) tallied 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal in 30 minutes in Monday's 136-115 win over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert's status was cloudy heading into the day while he managed a left ankle sprain, but the veteran center showed no sign of being affected by the injury while taking on a normal minutes count Monday. Though the Timberwolves may have some buyer's remorse about giving up a cache of draft picks and players to acquire Gobert from the Jazz this past summer, the 30-year-old has recently stepped up his play. Over his seven appearances since the All-Star break, Gobert is shooting 63.9 percent from the floor and is averaging 16.3 points, 10.7 boards, 2.0 blocks, 1.9 assists and 1.3 steals.

Gobert (ankle) has been cleared to play Monday against the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert was listed as a game-time decision earlier in the day due to a left ankle sprain, but he's since been given the green light. He should play a full complement of minutes following a stellar 26-point performance Friday against the Nets.

Gobert (left ankle sprain) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert rolled his ankle during the fourth quarter of Friday's game, and while he was able to play through the injury, it looks to have swelled up on him. He'll test his ankle at Monday's shootaround, but if he's not able to give it a go, Naz Reid would likely get a spot start and he'd make for an attractive streamer.

Gobert posted 26 points (12-15 FG, 2-6 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, one block and four steals over 42 minutes during Friday's 124-123 overtime loss to the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert had arguably his best game since joining the Timberwolves, going for 26-and-13 to go with five defensive stats. The arrival of Mike Conley has certainly done wonders for Gobert, allowing him to look more like the player managers were hoping for earlier in the season. The hope is that he can continue to build on these recent performances; however, managers will want to keep an eye on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Hawks. While Gobert was able to close the game, he did appear to roll his ankle early in the fourth quarter.

Gobert finished with six points (2-6 FG, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 117-94 loss to Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert was no match for Joel Embiid in the loss, basically played out of the game at times. This performance really highlighted what a struggle it has been for Gobert this season. His lack of lateral movement and overall speed limits where he can play, especially on the defensive end. With centers becoming more versatile with their offensive skillset, it feels as though Gobert is being left behind. With no prospect of expanding his range beyond about three feet, Gobert's long-term value, or lack thereof, is cause for concern.
