Team France is taking on Team Bosnia-Herzegovina in FIBA Basketball World Cup qualifying action today, and the matchup brings a clash of two established, prominent NBA centers: Rudy Gobert of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Jusuf Nurkic of the Portland Trail Blazers. As expected, the big men are going at it hard. Thanks to Twitter user Alexander Chernykh (@chernykh), whose bio includes former player and coach, we can see that the 7-footers have strayed into a bit of extracurricular activity, as Gobert has been tagged with an unsportsmanlike conduct infraction for elbowing Nurkic in the face.
