Gobert sidelined vs. Nets with sprained left ankle
Written by I Dig SportsMINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert was ruled out for Saturday's home game against the Brooklyn Nets with a left ankle sprain.

The three-time Defensive Player of the Year finished Friday's loss with 12 points and 19 rebounds.
Coming out of the All-Star break, Minnesota has four back-to-back series in its next nine games.
