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

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

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

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

Gobert is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Warriors due to right groin soreness.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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

Gobert (groin) is questionable for Monday's game against Sacramento.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Gobert (groin) will play in Saturday's game against the Kings, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert has dealt with lingering soreness in his right groin for the past two weeks but has managed to play in three straight contests. Over that span, he has averaged 13.0 points, 13.7 rebounds and 2.7 blocks across 33.8 minutes.

Gobert is considered questionable for Saturday's game versus the Kings due to right groin soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Gobert has been labeled questionable ahead of recent contests as well and has played, so it seems likely he may do so again Saturday. However, there may be a bit more risk to him suiting up Saturday in the second game of a back-to-back set. If he were to rest, Naz Reid would presumably draw the start and see a sizable minutes increase.
