Rudy Gobert made headlines after throwing a punch at his teammate Kyle Anderson during the Minnesota Timberwolves vs. New Orleans Pelicans game.
The Timberwolves sent Gobert home for his actions, as it created a huge mess for the team right before the play-in tournament. Following the heated incident, a Minnesota Timberwolves employee recorded Kyle Anderson’s NSFW reaction to Gobert punching him.
“Y’all kiss his a*s way too much. Wanna tell me to focus? The f**k is wrong with y’all. Y’all got a decision to make this summer.”
Anderson was understandably frustrated at how Rudy Gobert acted. He wants the Timberwolves to decide, obviously, about the future of Gobert this summer.
The franchise acquired Gobert by giving up a lot of assets, but so far, the Frenchman has failed to live up to those expectations. The incident could now lead to Gobert getting traded to another team.
Why Did Rudy Gobert Punch Kyle Anderson?
Arguments between teammates are nothing new for fans to see in the NBA. But it’s rare to see teammates punching or engaging in any physical violence with each other.
So it’s obvious to be curious about the reason behind the altercation. NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski revealed the verbal spat between the two players started after Anderson wanted Gobert to block shots.
In response, Gobert clapped back at Anderson by telling him to focus on getting rebounds. After the heated exchange, fans know Gobert lost his calm and punched Anderson.
But that’s not the end of the fight between them. According to Shams Charania of ‘The Athletic,’ Anderson threatened to knock out Gobert in the locker room.
It’s evident that the two stars are not seeing eye-to-eye with each right now. The Timberwolves fanbase will hope that it will not impact their Tuesday night matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers in the play-in tournament.
