Rudy Gobert was sent home in the middle of the Timberwolves’ final game of the season Sunday when he threw a punch at teammate Kyle Anderson in the middle of a heated exchange. Apparently, the argument was over the two players wanting to see more from each other.
The argument started during a timeout with Anderson telling Gobert to block some shots and continued when Gobert told him to grab a rebound, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. But it escalated when Anderson told Gobert to “shut the f--- up, b----.”
Gobert responded with a punch and both players had to be separated. The team told Gobert to leave and he did just that, missing his squad’s 113–108 win over the Pelicans.
