Why Isn’t Rudy Gobert Playing? National Reporter Provides Update on Timberwolves Star for Rockets Game

The Minnesota Timberwolves have a defensive juggernaut on their team in the form of Rudy Gobert. In the 2024/25 season, Gobert has the best defensive rating of any player in his team at 108.6. However, Rudy missed the Oklahoma City Thunder game before the All-Star break and is OUT for the game against the Houston Rockets. But thanks to an insider, we finally know why.

Star Tribune reporter Chris Hine revealed on X that Rudy is suffering from back spasms that seem extremely debilitating. “Just an informal observation but Gobert (back spasms) looked about as comfortable sitting in the locker room as I did one summer when I threw my back out working a construction job.” Yikes!
