Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Lays goose egg in Game 6 loss
Rotowire
Gobert registered zero points (0-4 FG) and three rebounds over 22 minutes during Friday's 139-109 loss to the Spurs in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Gobert struggled mightily during Friday's loss, failing to score for the first time this postseason while playing just 22 minutes. It was a disappointing end to the 2025-26 campaign for Gobert, who finished the regular season averaging 10.9 points, 11.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.6 blocks over 31.3 minutes per game. The veteran center is slated to make $36.5 million in 2026-27, though it's possible the Timberwolves reshape the roster around Anthony Edwards this offseason by moving Gobert, per Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Struggles in Game 5 loss
Rotowire
Gobert logged four points (1-4 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two steals and one block across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 126-97 loss to San Antonio in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
After scoring in double figures in back-to-back games, Gobert struggled offensively Tuesday and played a series-low 23 minutes. The veteran center also failed to make much of an impact on the glass, matching his season low in rebounds across the regular season and playoffs. The Timberwolves will likely need the big man to bounce back in Game 6 on Friday if they hope to keep their season alive.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Records double-double in Game 4
Rotowire
Gobert logged 11 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and one block in 30 minutes during Sunday's 114-109 victory over San Antonio in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Gobert delivered in the fourth quarter, making key plays that cemented the team's Game 4 victory. Sunday marked Gobert's fourth double-double of the postseason after hitting the benchmark three times against the Nuggets. While shot volume continues to be an issue for the veteran, his rebound totals are keeping him relevant as a reliable fantasy target.
Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Quiet in loss Wednesday
Rotowire
Gobert logged five points (1-4 FG, 3-9 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 133-95 loss to San Antonio in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Gobert didn't have much of an impact, although he was certainly not alone as the Timberwolves took a hard loss. Although Gobert's defensive contributions have been a real positive, the fact that he has scored more than seven points only once in his past five games can't be overlooked. The series will now shift to Minnesota, where Gobert will look to get things back on track.
Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Strong defensive effort in Game 1
Rotowire
Gobert amassed seven points (3-7 FG, 1-5 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and four steals in 30 minutes during Monday's 104-102 victory over San Antonio in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
While he fell short of his second straight double-double, Gobert's four steals and five combined steals and blocks were both highs for this postseason, and he recorded double-digit rebounds for the fifth time. The veteran center is averaging 7.6 points, 10.6 boards, 3.0 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.1 blocks through seven playoff contests heading into Game 2 on Wednesday.
Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Teases triple-double in victory
Rotowire
Gobert recorded 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 FT), 13 rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal across 42 minutes during Thursday's 110-98 victory over the Nuggets in Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Gobert was just two assists short of what would have been an unexpected triple-double, helping Minnesota close out the series against Denver. Across six games during the first round, Gobert averaged 7.7 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.5 combined steals and blocks. While his numbers weren't jaw-dropping, Gobert's impact was undeniable, particularly on the defensive end, where he was able to at least somewhat contain Nikola Jokic.
Gobert posted three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Monday's 125-113 loss to the Nuggets in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Gobert pulled down seven rebounds, but he attempted only two shots and connected on one in the loss. A low point total isn't uncommon for the veteran, but his shot volume was conspicuously low. He's recorded fewer than three shot attempts just six times this season. Gobert has recorded a double-double during the series, so he has the ability to put the pieces together despite the imposing presence of Nikola Jokic.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Pulls down 15 boards in win
Rotowire
Gobert finished with four points (2-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 15 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals over 36 minutes during Saturday's 112-96 victory over the Nuggets in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Although Gobert didn't do much in the scoring column, he matched Nikola Jokic's rebound total with a team-high 15 boards in the contest. With Anthony Edwards (knee) out for multiple weeks and Donte DiVincenzo having suffered a torn Achilles early in Saturday's game, Gobert, Julius Randle and Ayo Dosunmu will be called upon to increase their production to offset the missing output. A bigger spotlight will be on Gobert, who will be tasked with keeping Jokic in check for at least one more game.
