Rudy Gobert Gets Ejected Three Minutes Into Thursday's Game
Rudy Gobert got ejected just a few minutes into Thursday's contest after picking up his second foul early on and showed his frustration by knocking some items off the scorer's table. Gobert had been fined earlier in the week for criticizing officials and this anger continued into this contest against the Rockets. Gobert will probably not face a suspension but it was a hard night for those who had the big man in their lineups on Thursday.

Rudy Gobert Suiting Up Against Nuggets
Rudy Gobert (back) will be in the lineup on Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. The French big man is dealing with a lingering back injury, but the team has upgraded his status from questionable to available ahead of Wednesday's tip-off. On Sunday against the San Antonio Spurs, Gobert returned from a 10-game absence, posting 18 points, eight rebounds, and two steals in 20 minutes. Despite the long layoff, Gobert showed no signs of rust, but he saw only limited minutes, which may happen again on Wednesday night.

Rudy Gobert Uncertain For Wednesday
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.

Rudy Gobert To Play On Sunday
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.

Rudy Gobert A Game-Time Decision On Sunday
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.
