Rudy Gobert Fantasy Stats

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert will miss Sunday's game against Philadelphia after the league handed him a one-game ban for exceeding the regular-season flagrant foul threshold following Friday's win over Dallas. The 33-year-old averages 32 minutes with a 13.4 percent usage rate, so the fantasy swing comes from his absence, not volume. Naz Reid is the clear beneficiary after posting 21 points, seven rebounds, four threes, four assists, one steal, and two blocks in 31 minutes last game. Reid profiles as a strong short-term start, while Joan Beringer is only a deep-league dart. Julius Randle and Anthony Edwards should see marginal rebounding and usage bumps.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ankle) will be in the lineup on Thursday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The French giant played 21 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Dallas Mavericks and was initially listed as questionable for the second leg of a back-to-back. Gobert was quiet on Wednesday with six points and six rebounds, but he's had a strong month overall. Still, it won't be easy for Gobert to meet fantasy expectations on Thursday, as the Thunder give up the second-fewest fantasy points in the league to centers,

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (hip) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup against the Utah Jazz. The French giant is ready to rock against his former team after missing Saturday's loss to the San Antonio Spurs with a hip issue. Last week, Gobert sat out an additional game due to suspension. He should be fresh and fired up for Tuesday's very favorable fantasy matchup against the Jazz, who give up the seventh-most fantasy points to centers. Naz Reid (shoulder) will relinquish his starting role to Gobert and could be sidelined on Tuesday night after injuring his left shoulder against San Antonio.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (hip) does not carry an injury designation into Tuesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Gobert sat out Saturday's game due to a bruised left hip, but he is cleared to play now. The Wolves are glad Gobert only missed one game as they can't afford to have him sidelined for a lengthy amount of time. This season, Gobert is averaging 11.0 points, 11.4 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in 31.7 minutes per game. Fellow big man Naz Reid (shoulder) is questionable for Tuesday's game. Gobert could absorb some extra minutes if Reid is unable to play in that one.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (hip) will be inactive on Saturday against the San Antonio Spurs. He will skip the second leg of a back-to-back after notching a 10-point, 13-rebound double-double across 32 minutes in Friday's loss to the Houston Rockets. Naz Reid will likely slide into the starting lineup, while rookie Joan Beringer will be more involved in the action. Reid recently notched 19 points and three rebounds in his first start of the campaign against the Milwaukee Bucks. On Saturday night, he has a much tougher matchup against Victor Wembanyama.

According to Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic, Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (suspension) will be suspended for Tuesday's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 33-year-old big man picked up his fifth flagrant foul of the season in Sunday's 104-103 win over the Spurs, which triggers an automatic one-game suspension. The flagrant foul occurred during the fourth quarter when Gobert attempted to contest a Victor Wembanyama three-point attempt. Gobert should be once again active against the Rockets on Friday. With Gobert sidelined, Naz Reid will likely start at center after posting 17 points, 11 rebounds, two assists, and two blocks during Sunday's tilt.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (personal) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies. The multi-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year was having himself a fantastic night in Sunday's win over Sacramento. However, he exited after 20 minutes due to "personal reasons," and would finish that one with seven points, 12 boards, and one block. With Anthony Edwards (foot) potentially out once again, Gobert could continue to benefit on both sides of the floor versus a Memphis team that is without Zach Edey (ankle).

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert put in a disappointing 21-minute effort in Tuesday's Game 1 against the Oklahoma City Thunder, tallying only two points, three rebounds, one steal, and one block in a 114-88 loss. He finished 1-for-3 from the field and missed both of his free throws. The Thunder are well-equipped in the paint with Isaiah Hartenstein and Chet Holmgren, and Gobert has to contribute a lot more for Minnesota to have a chance at making it into the NBA Finals. The four-time Defensive Player of the Year has averaged only 1.3 blocks this postseason, while notching 8.3 points and grabbing 9.0 rebounds.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert feasted against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night, finishing a 103-96 Game 5 victory with a team-high 27 points and a game-high 24 rebounds. The Lakers lacked size, and Gobert capitalized on this, adding two blocks to his tally with 12-for-15 shooting from the field. In the first four games of the series, Gobert had managed only 14 total points with 25 rebounds, making it a true case of a sleeping giant awakening. If the Timberwolves can receive similar contributions from Gobert moving forward, the 2024-25 campaign might hold something very special for the squad.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (back) will be in the lineup on Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. The French big man is dealing with a lingering back injury, but the team has upgraded his status from questionable to available ahead of Wednesday's tip-off. On Sunday against the San Antonio Spurs, Gobert returned from a 10-game absence, posting 18 points, eight rebounds, and two steals in 20 minutes. Despite the long layoff, Gobert showed no signs of rust, but he saw only limited minutes, which may happen again on Wednesday night.
