The Minnesota Timberwolves big man Rudy Gobert remained sidelined on Monday due to a sprained rib, as reported by Chris Hine of The Star Tribune.

Gobert expressed his desire to return to action soon, stating, “I just want to be able to make sure I can help the team when I’m back.”

He mentioned that while the pain is improving daily, it’s still not at a level where he can perform at his best to support the team. Gobert hopes for a swift recovery, saying, “Hopefully it’s just a matter of days.”
