Rudy Gobert and Kyle Anderson made headlines last week when Gobert threw a punch at Anderson. This led to Rudy being suspended for their first play-in game, which the Minnesota Timberwolves lost.
Despite this, things have improved already, with Rudy Gobert’s return for the second play-in game seeing the Timberwolves beat the Oklahoma City Thunder comfortably and make the playoffs. And there was a lovely moment in the game when the two were seen high-fiving one another.
The Minnesota Timberwolves won convincingly against the Oklahoma City Thunder, which was necessary to build up the team’s morale again. Rudy Gobert was dominant in his return, scoring 21 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Kyle Anderson also contributed with 11 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists, a very good outing.
One of the assists Anderson made also went viral, it was a lob for Rudy Gobert. The two have spoken about moving on from the controversial incident, and it seems they are doing so. The fact that they are sharing the ball goes to show that none of the tension has made it onto the court.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have earned a first-round matchup against the Denver Nuggets now, which promises to be a fun series. Although the Nuggets are the first seed in the Western Conference, the Wolves will feel they have a chance if this situation can galvanize them, as Kevin Garnett suggested it might.
Rudy Gobert Said He And Kyle Anderson Have Moved On From Their Fight
Fighting between teammates and how common or acceptable it is has become a big topic in recent times. This conversation began after Draymond Green punched Jordan Poole, and it continued after the Timberwolves’ incident. Some think that this isn’t an unnatural occurrence, and as far as Gobert and Anderson are concerned, the big man said they have already moved on.
“We both apologized to each other and you move on. That’s life. It’s different when you have millions of people all watching videos and have an opinion on things that happened, that we can’t control. What we can control is the respect we have for each other and how we handle our relationship I still love Kyle. He’s still my brother.”
The perfect antidote to any tension in sports is winning, and this blowout victory against the Thunder will have helped a lot. They need to follow this up by giving the Nuggets a real fight to truly stop people talking about the incident.
