The Minnesota Timberwolves recently won their game against the New Orleans Pelicans, with a final score of 113-108. There’s no doubt that this was a good win for the Minnesota Timberwolves which improved their seeding, but the game was also notable for other reasons.
We saw Rudy Gobert and Kyle Anderson get into an altercation, with Gobert throwing a punch at Anderson. Adrian Wojnarowski revealed what was said to start the scuffle, with Kyle Anderson reportedly telling Rudy Gobert to block some shots. Anderson also called Gobert a “b*tch”, and told him to “shut the f*** up”.

Ultimately, the Minnesota Timberwolves won, so hopefully, this fight will become a distant memory as time goes on. There are times when even teammates end up arguing, and it is clear that this is one of those times.
The Minnesota Timberwolves Sent Rudy Gobert Home After He Threw The Punch At Kyle Anderson
The Minnesota Timberwolves ended up sending Rudy Gobert home in the middle of the game, as a response to his actions. It is clear that they did not want to escalate a situation that was already tense. It ended up being the right decision from an on-court standpoint as well, as Gobert was having a poor game and the Minnesota Timberwolves managed to rally to get the win.
“Timberwolves have sent Rudy Gobert home after Gobert threw punch at teammate Kyle Anderson during a timeout huddle, per sources. He is out for the remainder of game.”
Hopefully, we see Rudy Gobert avoid getting angry enough to physically attack a teammate in the future. Violence is never acceptable, even in the tensest of situations. However, Kyle Anderson did throw a few curse words toward Rudy Gobert as well, so it is easy to see why the center was angry with the forward.
It remains to be seen what the league and the Timberwolves will do following Rudy Gobert’s actions. Sometimes, we have seen players who throw punches get suspended, and we’ll see what happens regarding this matter in the future.
