Rudy Gobert Injury Update: Friday 3/7/25 vs. the Heat

Rudy Gobert has been sidelined for almost an entire month, but he could make his return on Friday, March 7 against the Heat.

The four-time Defensive Player of the Year is questionable with a back injury that’s kept him off the floor since mid-February.

With Gobert out, Naz Reid has taken over the starting role. Reid is averaging 18.4 points, 10.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game in the nine contests without Gobert.

Gobert is averaging 11 points and 10.4 rebounds per game this season. If he’s out again, Reid will continue to fill the hole in the starting lineup. Luka Garza will also see some backup minutes at the position.
