Rudy Gobert's Shooting Fell 21.2 Points Off Pace
Over his last 10 games last season, Gobert shot 44.6% from the field, down from 65.9% for the year.
Rudy Gobert shot 44.6% from the field over his last 10 games last season, down 21.2 points from his 65.9% mark across the full 2025-26 season. That gap, on a season sample of 88 games, is wide enough to notice for a player who built his season number on high-percentage shots near the rim.
Gobert's role for the Timberwolves depends on making that kind of shot. He averaged 31.3 minutes and 10.4 points a game across the season, numbers built on getting good looks and converting them. A 10-game stretch that finishes at 44.6% instead of something close to 65.9% means shots that used to fall stopped falling, at similar volume and role.
For the number to hold instead of correcting back, Minnesota's offense would need to keep finding Gobert in the same spots, and he would need to keep missing them. That is the harder outcome to sustain, since his season-long percentage was built on the same shot selection over 88 games. For it to change, he needs games where the makes catch back up to where they were before this stretch, close to two-thirds of his attempts falling.
The stretch ran through the Timberwolves' game on May 15, 2026, the most recent game in the window. Until Gobert's shooting in his next games moves back toward 65.9%, the last 10 games stand as the coldest stretch of his season from the field.
