EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old center quickly got back into form after developing back trouble right before the All-Star break, which cost him 10 games. Over his last eight appearances, Gobert has recorded five double-doubles including three straight, averaging 11.4 points, 10.5 boards, 1.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks over that stretch while shooting 69.2 percent from the floor.

EDGE Analysis

Gobert held things down in the paint for Minnesota in Monday's battle, leading all players in the contest in rebounds while finishing with the lone double-double of the game in a losing effort. Gobert has recorded at least 15 points and 15 boards in three contests, and he has hauled in 15 or more rebounds in eight appearances.

Gobert was ejected from Monday's game against the Pacers after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul, Alex Golden of the 'Setting the Pace' podcast reports. He registered three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 22 minutes before departing.

EDGE Analysis

Gobert was tossed midway through the third quarter after getting into an altercation with Andrew Nembhard, who was hit with his second technical and also ejected. It'll be up to Naz Reid and Luka Garza to fill in at center the rest of the way.

Gobert recorded 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 115-95 win over the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

The double-double was his 26th of the season, and his first in two games since returning to the lineup following a 10-game absence due to back trouble. Gobert's big increase in court time -- he played only 20 minutes Sunday in his return -- is a strong sign he's fully healthy, but his production will likely remain muted as the Minnesota offense continues to flow through Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle.

Gobert (back) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Gobert is coming off a 16-point performance in the blowout win against the Spurs and will be back on the floor Wednesday in Denver. The veteran big man has seen his numbers dip this season, averaging 11.1 points, 10.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.5 blocks per game while shooting 65.8 percent from the field.

Gobert (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Gobert made his return from a 10-game absence due to a lower back injury in Sunday's win over the Spurs, during which he posted 16 points (7-8 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 20 minutes. The big man will likely operate under a minutes restriction if he's able to play Wednesday. However, if Gobert is ruled out, Naz Reid and Luka Garza could receive a bump in minutes.

Gobert (back) amassed 16 points (7-8 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 20 minutes during Sunday's 141-124 victory over the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran center saw his first action since Feb. 12 as he returned from a back issue. His minutes were limited, but it's unclear if it was because he was under a specific restriction, or because Gobert picked up two first-quarter fouls that prompted head coach Chris Finch to hold him out for the entire second quarter. In any case, Gobert made the most of his time on the court by turning in a hihgly efficient performance. Minnesota doesn't play again until Wednesday in Denver and doesn't face a back-to-back set until next Sunday and Monday, so Gobert could ramp up to his usual workload fairly quickly.

Gobert (back) will start Sunday's game against the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Gobert has missed the last 10 games due to a back injury, but he will make his return Sunday. Considering the amount of time Gobert has missed, it wouldn't be surprising if he is on a minutes restriction as he eases back into play.

Gobert (back) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Gobert has missed the Timberwolves' last 10 games due to a back issue. If the French import can't play Sunday against San Antonio, Minnesota will likely continue to turn to Naz Reid to shoulder the load in the frontcourt.

Gobert (back) is out for Friday's game versus the Heat, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gobert's absence streak will extend to 10 games Friday after being downgraded from questionable to out due to lower back injury maintenance. His next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with San Antonio.
