Top Rudy Gobert News

  • Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Quiet in defeat

    Gobert produced one point (0-4 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 119-114 loss to Golden State.

    The veteran big man failed to capitalize on the extra opportunity left behind by Anthony Edwards (knee), who is set to miss multiple weeks. Even so, Gobert should find himself being more involved in the Minnesota offense for the foreseeable future.

  • Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Grabs 20 rebounds despite shooting woes

    Gobert registered five points (0-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 20 rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 36 minutes in Monday's 127-125 overtime loss to the Cavaliers.

    Gobert dominated the glass en route to a season-high 20 rebounds, including eight offensive boards, but his horrendous shooting performance prevented him to deliver a massive stat line. Gobert's elite rebounding should continue providing a strong fantasy foundation, but his limited scoring and occasional free-throw struggles remain significant drawbacks in certain formats. He's failed to score in double digits in three of his first four appearances, a major downgrade for a player who has averaged double-digit points in each of his last 10 seasons.

  • Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Grabs 15 boards in opener

    Gobert registered five points (0-2 FG, 5-8 FT), 15 rebounds and one assist in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 131-106 win over the Heat.

    Gobert attempted only two shots on a night when Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball combined for 66 points on 46 attempts. However, Gobert led all players in rebounds and posted a game-best plus-29 in his 33 minutes. Offense has never been Gobert's strong suit, but as the defensive anchor for Minnesota, he'll contribute heavily to boards and, on most nights, blocks and steals.

  • Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Expected to suit up vs. Miami

    Gobert (rest) is expected to be available for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Heat.

    Gobert was one of many Timberwolves regulars who sat out the preseason finale, though the big man should be available Wednesday. He averaged 5.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 19.9 minutes per game across four appearances this preseason.

  • Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Out for preseason finale

    Gobert (rest) won't play in Friday's preseason finale against the Bulls, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports.

    Gobert, Anthony Edwards, LaMelo Ball and Ayo Dosunmu are all resting for the final exhibition. Gobert should be good to go for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Heat.

  • Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Quiet in loss

    Gobert finished with eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 22 minutes in Wednesday's 128-106 preseason loss to the Pistons.

    Gobert converted three of his four attempts from the field but was unusually quiet on the glass, collecting just four rebounds while failing to register a block. Minnesota struggled to contain Detroit's interior attack, though Gobert's established role as the team's defensive anchor should remain secure entering the regular season.

  • Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Available Monday

    Gobert (rest) is in the starting lineup for Monday's preseason game against the Knicks.

    After resting Saturday, Gobert will return to the starting lineup at Madison Square Garden. In two preseason games, the veteran center is averaging 6.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 17.8 minutes per contest.

  • Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Not playing Saturday

    Gobert (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Heat.

    Gobert and several other prominent Timberwolves players will be idle for Saturday's exhibition contest. The veteran center's next chance to play is Monday against the Knicks.

  • Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Grabs seven boards in win

    Gobert registered six points (3-4 FG) and seven rebounds across 17 minutes in Monday's 116-97 preseason win over the Bucks.

    Gobert handled his customary starting role at center and did exactly what was expected during his limited preseason workload, converting three of four attempts around the basket and grabbing a team-high seven rebounds among Minnesota's starters. The veteran center didn't record a block, but his fantasy appeal has long been driven primarily by elite rebounding, field-goal percentage and rim protection. With Minnesota changing several pieces around him this offseason, Gobert remains the established anchor of the team's frontcourt. His playing time in the preseason might be limited, but that's only because he's set to open the regular season as a key piece in the frontcourt.

  • Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Expanding his range

    Gobert continues to work on expanding his offensive game, including participating in three-point drills with his teammates, Andrew Dukowitz of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

    Gobert said shooting was an area of emphasis during the offseason and noted that competing with teammates in drills has helped make taking jumpers feel more natural in game-like situations. While it's unclear whether three-pointers will become a meaningful part of his offensive role, Gobert has worked on his perimeter shooting in previous offseasons as well.

  • Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Getting ready for 2026-27

    Gobert sat out France's 84-69 win over Sweden in Sunday's FIBA World Cup qualifier.

    Gobert did suit up for France's victory over Slovenia on Thursday, so Sunday appeared to be a maintenance-related absence. The veteran center is getting ready for his fifth season with the Timberwolves in 2026-27, and it's plausible that Minnesota will rely even more on Gobert now that big man Naz Reid has been sent to Charlotte in exchange for star point guard LaMelo Ball. Gobert has averaged a double-double and at least one block while shooting no lower than 62 percent from the field in 10 consecutive seasons.
