Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Ekes out double-double Friday
Rudy Gobert recorded 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 41 minutes during Friday's 130-126 overtime win over Sacramento.It wasn't a dominant performance, but Gobert still produced his second straight double-double and fifth in 13 games to begin the season. The veteran center's usage and production have somewhat surprisingly declined with Julius Randle in the frontcourt with him instead of Karl-Anthony Towns, but Gobert is still averaging 10.8 points, 10.5 boards, 1.9 assists and 1.4 blocks through the first 13 games of 2024-25.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Struggles against promising rookie
Rudy Gobert posted 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-5 FT) and 10 rebounds over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 106-98 loss to Portland.Gobert had his hands full against Donovan Clingan, who effectively ruled the day under the basket. The synergy between Gobert and Julius Randle continues to improve, but neither player could contend with Clingan's size. A few appearances at the charity stripe helped to pad Gobert's totals, but it was an disappointing evening overall.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Comes close to double-double
Rudy Gobert closed with 21 points (9-11 FG, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one block over 32 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 win over the Bulls.Gobert engaged in a battle with Nikola Vucevic, and while the Bulls big man outplayed him from a statistical perspective, the Frenchman delivered an impressive outing in his own right. Gobert missed just two of his 11 shots from the field and finished just one board shy of what would've been his fourth double-double of the campaign. This should be categorized as a huge bounce-back effort for the veteran, who had scored 10 or fewer points in three of his previous four contests.
