There is no doubt that the recent fight between Rudy Gobert and Kyle Anderson was heavily publicized, and it is definitely a big topic as of right now. It seems as though there is more to the story beyond what we saw on the court.
A recent report from Shams Charania of The Athletic revealed that their altercation also went to the locker room. Charania noted that at one point, Kyle Anderson threatened to fight Rudy Gobert and knock him out.
“The tension between Gobert and Anderson spilled over to the halftime locker room as well, with the two having a heated verbal exchange, multiple sources with direct knowledge of the events have told The Athletic. Anderson and Gobert confronted each other, and multiple sources said Anderson challenged the center at one point saying, “I’ll knock your a– out.” Teammates quickly separated them before anything turned physical. Timberwolves veteran Mike Conley Jr. served as a vital factor in calming down the halftime locker room, according to those sources.”
It is good to see that other Timberwolves players were ready to diffuse the situation, and luckily, no one ended up getting hurt. Though disagreements between teammates often happen, they should never escalate to situations where violence is used, no matter how tense things are at the moment.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are a lock to face the Los Angeles Lakers in the play-in tournament, and if they lose, they will face the winner of the game between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Oklahoma City Thunder. We will see what happens in the future, and they definitely still have a good shot of making the playoffs.
