Certainly Rudy Gobert quickly apologized, but the punch struck on Sunday by the Frenchman on the chest of one of his Minnesota Timberwolves teammates could not be worse, while his franchise will play a game or two later. of his season in the NBA. According to the sports channel ESPN, Gobert would not be part of the trip to Los Angeles where the Wolves must face the Lakers of LeBron James in a play-off to access the play-offs. And the French pivot should therefore not play this cleaver match.
In case of defeat, Minnesota would still have a chance to qualify three days later against the winner of the match between New Orleans and Oklahoma. And Gobert, who other sources say would be suspended for one game, could then return to the team. Unless the Minneapolis franchise has a heavier hand with its rookie last summer, after the bloodshed of which the former Utah player was guilty during the game against the Pelicans, won without him by Wolves (113-108).
