The Oklahoma City Thunder visit Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday night. Rudy Gobert is on injury report beside Mike Conley Jr., with one player listed as questionable and the other ruled out. After the All-Star quarterback Anthony Edwards has been removed from the injury reportRudy Gobert is nursing a sprained left ankle and Mike Conley is battling back spasms. Here’s everything we know about Rudy Gobert’s injury and his playing status against the Thunder.

Rudy Gobert’s injury status against the Thunder

While Rudy Gobert is listed as questionable for Thursday’s rematch of the Western Conference Finals, Mike Conley Jr. has been ruled out. After Gobert sent a heartfelt message after the tragic shootings in Minneapolis, he helped the Timberwolves beat the Dallas Mavericks 118-105, but sprained his left ankle in the process. This came after snapping a four-game losing streak with a 108-83 win against the Golden State Warriors back-to-back.

Still, the Timberwolves are 7-5 in January after a five-game hitting streak in six outings. Gobert had a double-double performance (15 points, 17 rebounds) with two blocks and one steal against the Warriors. He is averaging 10.8 points on 70.7% shooting, 11.2 rebounds, which is third in the NBA, and 1.7 blocks per game this season.

The Timberwolves are coming off a 118-105 win over the Dallas Mavericks and host the Thunder for the second night of back-to-back games. Julius Randle leads the Timberwolves with 31 points. All-Star Anthony Edwards finished with 20 points, six rebounds, six assists and three steals.

With Isaiah Hartenstein returning for the Thunder alongside Chet Holmgren in the frontcourt, the Timberwolves would certainly appreciate Gobert’s rim protection to go up against Oklahoma City’s two seven-footers. The Timberwolves handed the Thunder just their third loss of the season in December, dropping the defending champions to 25-3 six days before Christmas.

The Timberwolves avenged a 113-105 loss at the Pike Center in late November, and the rubber matchup between the two is set for Thursday. However, when it comes to whether Rudy Gobert plays tonight against the Thunder, the answer is maybe.
