Rudy Gobert Questionable With Rib Strain
1 month agoMinnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ribs) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. A left rib strain has cost Gobert consecutive contests, and the star big man remains in danger of missing the second half of Minnesota's back-to-back following Monday's win over the Utah Jazz. The T-Wolves' frontcourt may be severely short-handed with Naz Reid (head) iffy and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) on the shelf, potentially forcing head coach Chris Finch to divvy up the center minutes among Kyle Anderson and Jaden McDaniels as small-ball fives in an unenviable position against two-time MVP Nikola Jokic and the defending champions. The Nuggets are yielding the seventh-fewest points per game (110.2) in the NBA during 2023-24.
