Out for Sunday
Gobert (rest) won't play Sunday against the Pelicans.
Analysis
Gobert is one of several regulars who won't suit up for the Timberwolves in the final game of the regular season, although the big man should be available for the start of the playoffs April 18. Gobert averaged 10.9 points, 11.5 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game in 76 regular-season starts.

Out for Friday
Gobert (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis
Gobert will sit for a second straight game due to rest purposes. Naz Reid should again see an increased role in Gobert's absence. His next chance to take the court will arrive in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Pelicans.

Ruled out Wednesday
Gobert (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Magic, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
The veteran center will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set, joining Anthony Edwards (knee), Julius Randle (hand), Ayo Dosunmu (rest) and Mike Conley (rest) on the inactive list. With Gobert out, Naz Reid should take on an expanded role, while Joan Beringer will likely see a significant bump in minutes.

May be rested
Gobert (rest) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Orlando.
Analysis
After logging 33 minutes Tuesday against the Pacers for the front end of this back-to-back set, a maintenance day is on the table for Gobert. If he does end up sitting out, Naz Reid and Joan Beringer are likely to see increased minutes in the frontcourt.
