Oh No He Didn't: Rudy Gobert: "It's a lot. Most of us have kids. We are here doing what we love right? We try to give people joy, give people something to distract them from the bad things that are happening. That's all we can do. Just trying to stay safe, send love to all the people affected...try to lead by example. People need some joy in those times"
Omari Sankofa: Speaking of Isaiah Stewart... I feel like a lot of people just watch the person from afar. They think, 'Oh, this guy is someone you don't want to mess with.' But I would start with Isaiah Stewart, who's really been their defensive backbone. I would say he's been one of the top rim protectors in the NBA, up there with guys like Rudy Gobert and Wemby, despite being smaller than those guys... But he really brings the intensity on the floor. The 'don't back down,' the 'don't take anything from anyone.' Obviously, he's a guy that has gone viral a few times for some of his actions, but for him, it's really just so much deeper than that. It's his everyday approach. He's just a warrior for the team doing all the dirty work... But like if you only knew him through your interactions with him in the building, you would not know that he has the reputation that he has because otherwise, I mean, he's the ultimate teammate. I think he's just the epitome of the guy who looks out for your team. But if he's on the other team, then God help you out there.
Dane Moore: Asked Rudy Gobert about the Wolves' 3-game losing and what "getting back to who we are" looks like for the Wolves. "Losing one is tough. Losing two is like, ok, we gotta get back to who we are. But we didn't do that against Utah. So I hope after three that there's a reaction."
Jorge Sierra: How disrespected is Rudy Gobert among his peers? How about this: Steven Adams has been on roughly the same number of player All-Star ballots (around 5.8 percent) as Gobert since 2017.

Jon Krawczynski: Rudy Gobert questionable with a hip contusion. He seemed to be moving ok after the game, but it is a back-to-back
Minnesota Timberwolves star Rudy Gobert first met Wembanyama when the Spurs center was just 13 years old, watching his future French national teammate grow physically and emotionally. When his friend ended up in the hospital, Gobert reached out to help him maintain perspective on the bigger picture. “When you’re young and you’ve got everything you want, it’s easy to take it for granted,” Gobert says. “When everything disappears, you realize that it can be taken away from you just like that. It makes you cherish the moment even more. This summer, he realized every day is a blessing.”
Jon Krawczynski: Both Edwards and Gobert are out tomorrow. Yikes

Jon Krawczynski: Rudy Gobert will now serve a one-game suspension after picking up his fifth flagrant foul of the season. Add the technical to it and this is a disastrous possession for the Wolves, who had climbed back into this thing.
Jon Krawczynski: Excellent win for the Timberwolves. Balanced, precise offense. Made the plays needed down the stretch. Anthony Edwards: 25, 9a, 7r ... 10K career points Randle: 28p, 11r, 8a McDaniels: 26p, 11-14 FG Gobert: 11p, 13r DiVincenzo: 22p, 6-10 3s Wolves are rolling
Jorge Sierra: Rudy Gobert passed Shawn Marion in rebounds last night for No. 43 in NBA history. Also could become the first player to win DPOY five times in just a few months.
