  Gobert racked up 17 points (8-9 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals in 38 minutes during Friday's 124-109 victory over the Suns.

Over his last eight appearances, Gobert has recorded five double-doubles including three straight, averaging 11.4 points, 10.5 boards, 1.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks over that stretch while shooting 69.2 percent from the floor.

Gobert was tossed midway through the third quarter after getting into an altercation with Andrew Nembhard, who was hit with his second technical and also ejected.

• Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Ekes out double-double Wednesday

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Gobert recorded 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 115-95 win over the Nuggets. The double-double was his 26th of the season, and his first in two games since returning to the lineup following a 10-game absence due to back trouble. Gobert's big increase in court time -- he played only 20 minutes Sunday in his return -- is a strong sign he's fully healthy, but his production will likely remain muted as the Minnesota offense continues to flow through Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle.
