Gobert notched nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 109-101 victory over the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Although the Timberwolves were playing without Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) during Wednesday's win, Gobert was held to a season-low one rebound against the Grizzlies, who have allowed the fewest rebounds per game to opposing centers this year. Over his 11 appearances since returning to the court, Gobert has averaged 14.4 points and 10.1 rebounds in 30.9 minutes per game. With Towns facing a multi-week absence, Gobert should shoulder an even larger role in Minnesota's frontcourt and should be more productive when the team faces more favorable opponents than Memphis.

Gobert posted 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-5 FT), 17 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals across 34 minutes during Friday's 110-108 loss to the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Gobert had an efficient night shooting and led the game with 17 rebounds. He's registered a double-double in back-to-back contests and is averaging 13.7 points, 11.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks over his last five matchups.

Gobert (ankle) will suit up for Friday's game against the Hornets, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gobert suffered a left ankle sprain earlier in the week, but the injury will not keep him out of Friday's contest. Through 16 appearances, Gobert has averaged 13.6 points, 12.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks across 32.0 minutes per game.

Gobert is questionable to play in Friday's game versus Charlotte due to a left ankle sprain.

EDGE Analysis

If Gobert is unable to play, Naz Reid or Kyle Anderson (back) are likely candidates to join the starting lineup. Gobert's next opportunity to play will be Sunday's matchup with the Warriors if he can't go Friday.

Gobert notched four points (4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 31 minutes during Monday's 105-101 win over the Heat. He did not log a field-goal attempt.

EDGE Analysis

Gobert received just 11 passes all night. For comparison, Anthony Edwards led with 87 and Jaylen Nowell received 23 passes in his nine minutes of action. Monday marked the first time since 2014 that Gobert didn't attempt a shot. He hit two clutch free throws to help Utah win the game, but his usage is clearly baffling at times.

Gobert notched eight points (4-7 FG), 13 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 28 minutes during Saturday's 112-109 victory over the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Gobert established his presence on the glass early with eight first-half rebounds while scoring six of his eight points in the second quarter on 3-of-6 shooting from the field. He scored just two more points in the second half on his lone field goal attempt but also grabbed another five boards, four of which came in the fourth quarter to give him a game-high 13 on the night. The Minnesota center has failed to reach 10 points in five of 14 games to begin the season, though he has collected double-digit rebounds in six of his last nine.

Gobert notched 25 points (8-11 FG, 9-11 FT), 11 rebounds and three blocks across 30 minutes in Wednesday's 129-117 loss against the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Gobert missed three straight games after entering the league's health and safety protocols, but he looked impressive in his return en route to posting his fourth double-double of the campaign. He's still adjusting to playing alongside Karl-Anthony Towns, and his numbers have taken a minor hit, but this was a clear step in the right direction, both in terms of efficiency and his final output.

Gobert is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Gobert will rejoin the starting unit for Wednesday's contest after clearing the NBA's health and safety protocols Tuesday. The big man is averaging 12.6 points, 13.9 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 32.2 minutes per contest this season.

Gobert (Covid-19 protocols) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Gobert practiced Tuesday and was already expected to play, so this news further cements that outcome. The star big man will presumably retake his starting spot in the frontcourt alongside Karl-Anthony Towns on Wednesday, likely sending Kyle Anderson back to the bench.

Gobert (COVID-19 protocols) is expected to play Wednesday against the Suns, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

After two missed games, Gobert returned to practice Tuesday, and there seems to be little concern regarding his conditioning. It's possible he still ends up on the injury report as probable, but coach Chris Finch indicated Gobert should be fine. He should re-join the starters, pushing Kyle Anderson back to the bench.
