Minnesota Timberwolves middle Rudy Gobert is questionable for Monday’s Sport 2 on account of private causes after turning into a father for the primary time.
The child boy was delivered Monday morning, sources advised ESPN.
It’s unsure whether or not Gobert will be capable of journey to Denver in time for the tip-off in opposition to the defending champion Denver Nuggets.
Gobert, a finalist to earn his record-tying fourth Defensive Participant of the Yr award, had 6 factors, 13 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks and a steal within the Timberwolves’ Sport 1 win within the Western Convention semifinals sequence.
Gobert, an 11-year veteran who’s trying to advance to the convention finals for the primary time in his profession, has averaged 13.2 factors, 11.4 rebounds, 1.2 blocks and 1.2 steals per sport as third-seeded Minnesota opened the playoffs with 5 consecutive wins.
The Timberwolves have outscored opponents by 74 factors in Gobert’s 175 minutes, which ranks because the second-best particular person plus-minus in these playoffs.
