Rudy Gobert attacked his teammate Kyle Anderson this Sunday during a timeout for the Minnesota Timberwolves, who face the New Orleans Pelicans. The French pivot hit his teammate after a short altercation on the team bench.
Gobert was then sent home at half-time, according to Shams Charania de The Athletic, and did not finish the encounter. A worrying sign as the franchise prepares to play the play-in.
“Kyle (Anderson) wants to win and he’s a bit aggressive in the way he speaks at times, but I don’t take that personally. I get it positively because he wants me to be the best Rudy I can be and for us to win. I like his competitiveness, I like the way he plays. The way he makes others better around him. He has played an important role this year.”had nevertheless assured the player to Chris Hinethe day before.
