The Minnesota Timberwolves have suspended three-time All-Star center Rudy Gobert for Tuesday’s Play-In game against the Los Angeles Lakers in the aftermath of his on-court altercation with forward Kyle Anderson, according to multiple reports. Gobert did not make the trip with the team to L.A.
Per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Gobert will serve a one-game suspension and be eligible to return for either a second Play-In game in Minneapolis on Friday or the first round of the NBA Playoffs, depending on the outcome of Tuesday’s game against the Lakers.
Gobert will serve a one-game suspension and is expected to return if the Wolves lose to the Lakers and play another play-in game, or advance into the Western Conference playoffs, sources said.
