Timberwolves’ Rudy Gobert is latest to make load management a thing of the past

New York Times  

A few hours before the Minnesota Timberwolves took on the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday, Rudy Gobert was added to the injury report and listed as questionable with a sore left hip. It would have been easy for Gobert to say, “Hey, it’s just an early December game against the Hornets. “If you’re always resting guys, then you don’t have the resiliency to go battle through that, so I think it’s important.” Without Gobert on Saturday night, the Timberwolves do not win in Charlotte. The Wolves trailed by four points with under five minutes to play, but Gobert had three separate stifles of the Hornets in the paint — one on P.J. 👀 pic.twitter.com/pGorYEaZtI — Minnesota Timberwolves December 2, 2023 Conley’s touch Mike Conley missed six of his first seven shots Saturday, all 3-pointers as the Timberwolves struggled to find the right mix of offense in a track meet against the Hornets.
