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.

Gobert closed Tuesday's 121-109 win over Portland with 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and one block over 37 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Gobert is on a six-game double-double streak and has hit those milestones against tough competition. He had less trouble against Deandre Ayton and the Portland frontcourt, although Ayton had 16 rebounds to Gobert's 15 boards. Minnesota will match up with Portland again Thursday, and Gobert should enjoy a similar stat line.

Gobert had 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-5 FT), 10 rebounds and four blocks in 33 minutes during Monday's 121-100 win over the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Gobert extended his double-double streak to five games, and his four swatted balls lifted him to eighth place in the category with a seasonal average of 2.1 blocks per game. In his second season with the Timberwolves, Gobert is averaging 13.8 points and 12.5 rebounds over 52 games.

Gobert racked up 12 points (3-6 FG, 6-10 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 44 minutes during Tuesday's 129-123 overtime loss to Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Gobert knows most of his value will come on the defensive end and the glass, as he holds a secondary role in Minnesota's offensive scheme behind Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards, but he has been a steady double-double producer of late. The Frenchman has posted seven double-doubles over his last 10 games, a span in which he's averaged 14.8 points, 13.4 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per contest.

Gobert (ankle) is starting Sunday's game against the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Gobert was questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup, but he'll be able to take the floor once again despite his ankle injury. He was also cleared to suit up Friday against Orlando despite a questionable tag, and he totaled 22 points, 16 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 39 minutes.

Gobert is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rockets with a sprained left ankle.

EDGE Analysis

Gobert lands a questionable tag for a second straight contest with a sprained ankle. He played through the injury Friday and logged a double-double across 39 minutes. If he can't suit up Sunday, Naz Reid and Luka Garza would likely handle larger workloads.

Gobert produced 22 points (6-7 FG, 10-11 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 39 minutes during Friday's 108-106 loss to the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Gobert led all players in Friday's contest in rebounds and free throws made while ending with a team-high-tying point total and as the lone Timberwolves player with a double-double in a losing effort. Gobert, who also recorded a team-high-tying pair of blocks, has tallied at least 20 points and 15 rebounds in three games this season. He has now posted a double-double in eight of his last 10 contests.

Gobert (ankle) will play in Friday's game against Orlando, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.

EDGE Analysis
