  • Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Wins Defensive Player of the Year

    The NBA announced Tuesday that Gobert (personal) has been named the 2023-24 Kia NBA Defensive Player of the Year.

    Gobert has now tied Dikembe Mutombo and Ben Wallace for the most DPOY awards in NBA history with four. Gobert was the anchor Minnesota's defense, which boasted a league-best 108.4 defensive rating. The defensive stalwart's 2.1 blocks per game ranked sixth in the NBA while his 12.9 rebounds per contest ranked second.

  • Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: To miss Game 2

    Gobert (personal) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 2 against the Nuggets, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

    Gobert was added to the team's injury report earlier in the day due to a personal matter, and he's since been downgraded to out after Charania confirmed the birth of Gobert's first child. Look for Naz Reid, who put up 16 points in Game 1, and Kyle Anderson to see an increased workload in the frontcourt Monday night.

  • Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Late addition to injury report

    Gobert is questionable for Monday's Game 2 against the Nuggets due to personal reasons.

    Gobert's partner is due to give birth this month, per Jack Borman of Canius Hoopus, so that's likely the reasoning behind the big man missing the team's morning shootaround. Gobert has the full support of his team, and it's still possible he's able to return in time for the 10 p.m. ET tipoff. However, if Gobert is unavailable, Naz Reid, who had a stellar fourth quarter in Game 1, would be a candidate for increased minutes, but Karl-Anthony Towns would likely start at center.

  • Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Efficient performance in Game 3 win

    Gobert logged 19 points (6-8 FG, 7-8 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 38 minutes during Friday's 126-109 victory over the Suns in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    Gobert's scoring numbers have increased with each passing game in the series, though the increased offensive responsibility in Game 3 was directly related to Karl-Anthony Towns being limited with foul trouble. Gobert has two double-doubles in three games during the current series, and he is averaging 17.0 points and 13.0 boards per contest.

  • Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Top rebounder in double-double

    Gobert ended with 14 points (4-6 FG, 6-7 FT), 16 rebounds and two assists in 37 minutes during Saturday's 120-95 win over the Suns in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

    Gobert owned the glass in Saturday's Game 1 victory, leading all players in the contest in rebounds while posting the lone double-double. Gobert concluded the regular season with at least 10 points and 15 rebounds in four of his final five outings.

  • Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Scores team-high 21

    Gobert closed with 21 points (7-9 FG, 7-9 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 125-106 loss to the Suns.

    Minnesota came into Sunday with a chance to land the top seed in the Western Conference, but they finished third after a lackluster performance at home. Gobert was the only Timberwolf to score 20 or more points, and his seven boards also led the club on the afternoon. The 31-year-old center has scored in double digits in 11 of the last 12 games, averaging 15.9 points, 13.0 rebounds, 2.1 blocks, 1.9 assists and 1.0 steals over that stretch to close the regular season.

  • Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Massive output in Friday's win

    Gobert posted 25 points (10-10 FG, 5-8 FT), 19 rebounds, five blocks and one steal across 37 minutes during Friday's 109-106 win over the Hawks.

    The Timberwolves needed Gobert to step his game up Friday, and the Frenchman delivered with an impressive stat line on both ends of the court, leading Minnesota in scoring and also recording elite defensive numbers. Gobert has 10 double-doubles over his last 11 appearances, including four in a row, while registering multiple blocks seven times in that stretch.

  • Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Bests Jokic in rebound battle

    Gobert logged 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-3 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 116-107 loss to Denver.

    Although Gobert couldn't contain Jokic's scoring barrage, he fared about as well as possible off the glass against the presumptive MVP. The defensive stalwart played 39 minutes and seemed to run out of gas in the final frame, allowing Jokic to contribute nine points during a 22-7 run. The Timberwolves hope to have Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) back for the playoffs, and his presence could be the difference-maker if Minnesota meets Denver again in the Western Conference Finals.
