Rudy Gobert threw a punch at teammate Kyle Anderson on Sunday during Minnesota’s game against the Pelicans.
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert was sent home by the team after throwing a punch at teammate Kyle Anderson during a timeout in the second quarter of their vital 113-108 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday.
Anderson, who was not seriously hurt, remained in the game as the Wolves went on to clinch the No. 8 seed in the Play-In Tournament.Â
“We made the decision to send Rudy Gobert home after the incident in the second quarter,” Timberwolves president Tim Connelly said in a statement. “His behavior on the bench was unacceptable and we will handle the situation internally.”
It’s unclear what Gobert and Anderson were arguing about, but they were involved in an animated discussion while head coach Chris Finch was trying to address the team.
After a back-and-forth, Gobert threw a punch at Anderson’s chest, though it did not land with much force.Â
