After missing three straight NBA regular season games due to a sprained left rib, Rudy Gobert was cleared to play Friday. Lasting 37 minutes against the Cleveland Cavaliers at Target Center, he had nine points, 15 rebounds, two blocks and an assist.
“Sometimes you have to accept the pain. Sometimes the pain of watching hurts more than the pain of the injury itself. compared the French center after helping his team bounce back into the win column and improve WL tally to 48-22, “It’s all about playing through it. As long as I can move, impact the game, I’ll be there.
Gobert, 31, is among the most influential players in the wolves in an impressive 2023-24 campaign. The team coached by Chris Finch is in third place in the Western Conference standings, one game behind Denver Nuggets and 1.5 games behind the leader Oklahoma City Thunder. A distance of 3.5 games from the fourth seed Los Angeles Clippers gives an overview of the top of the rankings.
“Our level of urgency has been there since the first day of training camp. I think our maturity and experience level is much better now. » described the three-time All-Star and three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year.
Moving on to the next episode of NBA Sundays, the Timber wolves host the Warriors of the Golden State. Closing out a four-game homestand Wednesday, the Detroit Pistons will visit the team based in Minneapolis.
