Rudy Gobert was removed from Sunday’s game after he took a swing at teammate Kyle Anderson during a timeout while Jaden McDaniels suffered a fractured right hand earlier in the game.
MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Timberwolves lost two starters before locking up the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference on Sunday with Rudy Gobert being sent home for swinging at teammate Kyle Anderson and Jaden McDaniels fracturing his right hand, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Gobert was escorted to the locker room in the second quarter of Sunday’s 113-108 win over the New Orleans Pelicans after getting into an altercation with Anderson during a timeout.
Video of the incident showed Gobert and Anderson having words while standing on opposite ends of the Timberwolves huddle. The two continued to exchange words until Anderson said something Gobert took exception to.
