Minnesota Timberwolves center
Rudy Gobert (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Gobert made his return to the court on Sunday after missing the previous 10 games due to a lower back injury. He registered 16 points, eight rebounds, and two assists across 20 minutes of action during that game. The Wolves are likely going to ease him back into his normal role. If he sits on Wednesday,
Naz Reid and
Luka Garza would likely see increased roles in the rotation. Reid has been a strong fantasy option all season long, but would have increased value if Gobert is unable to play.

Minnesota Timberwolves center
Rudy Gobert (back) is returning to the court ahead of Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Gobert has missed the last 10 games due to a lingering back issue. That being said, it's uncertain if the Wolves plan to limit Gobert during his first game back. His return will shift
Naz Reid back to the bench on Sunday. However, Reid might still see decent playing time with Gobert likely facing some restrictions. Fantasy managers in season-long formats can go ahead and get Gobert active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

According to Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch, center
Rudy Gobert (back) is a game-time decision regarding his availability for Sunday's meeting with the Spurs. The multi-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year is currently carrying a questionable tag after missing the last 10 games because of a back injury.
Naz Reid has been handling things in the middle. But even if Gobert is cleared to suit up, he hasn't played in nearly a month, meaning he may be limited. With that in mind, fantasy managers can consider keeping Gobert on the bench even if he's available.

Minnesota Timberwolves center
Rudy Gobert (back) will remain out of the lineup on Friday against the Miami Heat. This will mark his 10th consecutive absence for lower back injury management. Gobert's next chance to return will be on Sunday in a matchup against the San Antonio Spurs.
Naz Reid will continue to carry a heavy workload in Friday's contest as the starting center. In 16 starts across the season, he has averaged 18.5 points with 9.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.3 blocks.
