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.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Could see uptick in value
Gobert should benefit from sharing the floor with one of the league's best passers in LaMelo Ball, according to Cholo Magsino of Yahoo Sports.
Minnesota's lack of a traditional point guard had occasionally limited Gobert's offensive opportunities, and Ball's pick-and-roll ability could help maximize the veteran center's efficiency. However, the departures of Naz Reid and Julius Randle may place additional frontcourt responsibilities on Gobert entering his age-34 season, as Jaden McDaniels is now expected to start at power forward.
