The Minnesota Timberwolves will have at least one player in the gold medal game this weekend.

Center Rudy Gobert and the French team topped Germany 73-69 in Thursday’s semifinal match. They will now play the winner of the United States-Serbia game.

For the second consecutive game , Gobert didn’t play a lot for France, logging just 5:09 and one rebound after averaging 21 minutes per game coming into the quarterfinals.

He has totaled 18 points and 21 rebounds so far in his third Olympics, in which he gets to represent the host nation.

Saturday’s gold medal game is scheduled to tip off at 2:30 p.m. (CT), and Gobert could face his Timberwolves teammate Anthony Edwards and Team USA.
