Rudy Gobert Suspended By Timberwolves After Striking Teammate

by

Rudy Gobert made headlines this past Sunday for all the wrong reasons. The Minnesota Timberwolves star was seen striking teammate Kyle Anderson during the team’s regular-season finale. The two were seen in a heated discussion that saw Gobert try to finish the altercation by throwing a punch. Now it seems the punch has landed Gobert in hot water. NBA insiders Shams Charania and Adrian Wojnarowski are reporting the Minnesota big man will not travel with the team for the play-in tournament due to suspension.

The news of Gobert’s suspension is massive for the Timberwolves. Gobert is a strong defensive presence that could have helped the team deal with Anthony Daivs. Now, most of that load will be on the shoulders of Karl Anthony-Towns. The Lakers and the Timberwolves will be competing for the seventh seed. While the winner earns a future date with the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round. Also, the Timberwolves season finale on Sunday included even more than two teammates being in an altercation.

Rudy Gobert Suspended For Play-In Tournament

The entire team Timberwolves team was visibly upset on Sunday. During halftime of their game, forward Jaden McDaniels fractured his hand by punching a wall. The collapse by Minnesota on Sunday is disheartening to a fan base starving to see them succeed. The Timberwolves haven’t seen much success in the post-season since the early 2000s. Now it seems as if the team is unraveling before even getting to play in this year’s playoffs. The Lakers will be chomping at the bit to attack the wounded Timberwolves.

However, all will not be lost if the Timberwolves lose to the Lakers. The team can still earn the final spot in the Western Conference if they fail against the Lakers. But with so much current turmoil, it’s hard to see Minnesota winning anything in this postseason. However, it has yet to be reported if Rudy Gobert will miss any other action after the team’s play-in matchup with the Lakers. How long do you believe Gobert will be suspended? Has he played his final game as a member of the Timberwolves? Sound off with your opinions in our comment section. For the latest NBA breaking news, stay locked in here at HNHH.

Shannon Sharpe Reveals Feelings On Draymond-Gobert Drama

by

Shannon and Sharpe, and Skip Bayless discussed the Rudy Gobert incident. On Monday’s edition of Undisputed, the two discussed Gobert’s incident on Sunday. During the Timberwolves regular-season finale, Gobert threw a punch at teammate Kyle Anderson. The situation soon caught the attention of everyone in the NBA social media world. Including Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green. Once upon a time, Green was called out on Twitter by Gobert for an on-the-court incident with a teammate.

Now it seems as if Green is reciprocating the same treatment Gobert gave him. Green posted the same tweet that Gobert sent out in regard to his situation. “Insecurity is always loud…” A short message that carried a lot of weight. Gobert has been rumored to be a tough teammate to co-exist with. His pairing in Utah with Donovan Mitchell ended with both men going their separate ways. Now it seems Gobert is frustrated with some of his current teammates.

Shannon Sharpe Supports Draymond’s Actions

It feels like a rare moment when Bayless and Sharpe are on the same side of the fence. Both media legends feel Green had every right to retaliate against Gobert through social media. Bayless mentioned that Gobert had no right to stick himself in Green’s situation. Now it just looks like Green is giving it all back to Gobert. However, both men will be looking past this beef rather quickly. Because their respective team have both qualified for the playoffs. Sharpe is no stranger to finding himself in the middle of a beef. Including beef involving NBA superstars.

Shannon Sharpe knows exactly what talking trash and backing it up is. Sharpe is an NFL Hall-of-Famer whose play on the field certainly backed up his talk. Green can be put in that same category. Love him or hate him, Green has seen a lot of success in his time in the league. But Gobert, on the other hand, looks to be in a different mindset currently. Do you think Draymond’s comments were fair? Sound off with your thoughts in the comment section. For the latest news involving the NBA, keep it right here at HNHH.

Draymond Green Claps Back At Rudy Gobert

by

The final day of the 2022-23 NBA regular season saw numerous viral moments play out. LeBron crowned himself as he secured a Lakers win while the loaded Mavs missed the playoffs entirely. However, the Timberwolves-Pelcians game produced not one, but two viral moments. While Jaden McDaniels punching a wall raised eyebrows, few moments were as talked about as the brawl that broke out on the Timberwolves’ bench.

During a second-quarter time in their regular-season finale against the Pelicans, Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert was seen physically lashing out at teammate Kyle Anderson. According to a team spokesperson, the confrontation came about due to comments Anderson made about Gobert’s performance. Team officials immediately removed Gobert from the game and reportedly went as far as to send him home. The story quickly went viral on social media, with one NBA in particular having some choice words for Gobert.

Draymond Green Has Perfect Response For Gobert

Draymond Green, who put up nine points in the Warriors’ Play-In clinching win over the Trail Blazers, fired off a four-word tweet on Sunday evening. “Insecurity is always loud…” the tweet read, quickly garnering over 61,000 likes. A cryptic tweet on the surface, the message was a devastating shot at Gobert. In October 2022, TMZ released a video of Green fighting with teammate Jordan Poole at a Warriors practice. Seemingly in response to the video, Gobert tweeted “Insecurity is always loud…”. Green’s Sunday-night tweet appears to be a direct response to Gobert’s comment on a similar incident.

It is unclear where the story goes from here. Despite tweeting an apology for his behavior, Gobert has been listed as doubtful for the Timberwolves’ Play-In game against the Lakers on Monday night. If the Timberwolves sideline Gobert, it would be another significant blow to their playoff chances. The team also lost forward Jaden McDaniels’ in Sunday’s game, and Naz Daniels, the team’s backup center, is already out due to injury. It remains to be seen if Gobert has done enough to face the Lakers. However, Draymond Green is eager to see the center held accountable in the court of public opinion.

To make matters worse for the team, forward Jaden McDaniels broke his hand after he punched a wall in frustration. The Wolves were able to pull out a 113-108 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.

According to ESPN, Gobert was sent home for the day and the team would determine further punishment. The moment was sparked by a verbal altercation. Gobert was reportedly told “shut the f— up, b—-” and that’s what led to the attack. Gobert issued an apology via Twitter.

“Tempers flare, you’re in the middle of a game, a game we all want to win, a huge one, it is what it is,” Anderson said. “You know, s— happens. It’s not the first time something like that has happened.”

As for McDaniels, he has a season-ending fracture and he will not be available for the Lakers game.

“I think tempers just flared,” Anderson said after the game. “That’s all.” He added that the two won’t have any problems going forward and are just serious about wanting to win. “We want to win games. It is what it is. It ain’t the first time someone has swung on me,” he said. Mike Conley added that Gobert already had sent a text message to the team apologizing for his behavior. Warriors star Draymond Green trolled Gobert on Twitter after the game. “Insecurity is always loud…,” Green wrote, echoing a tweet Gobert posted in 2022.

The Timberwolves are set to take on the Los Angeles Lakers in a play-in game for the playoffs. The winner will face the No. 2 seed Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs. The loser will compete in a second play-in matchup with the winner of the New Orleans Pelicans and the Oklahoma City Thunder matchup. The team to advance from that game will take on the top seeded Denver Nuggets. Check out Gobert and Anderson’s heated interaction on Twitter below.

Charles Barkley Rips Rudy Gobert & The T-Wolves

by

If you know anything about Charles Barkley, it is that he loves to speak his mind. Of course, this is especially true on Inside The NBA which is part of TNT‘s NBA coverage. Overall, he is a pretty hilarious figure, however, he does upset some people from time to time.

On any given night, you can never predict who his next target will be. On Monday night, however, Barkley was going after the likes of Rudy Gobert. Gobert was traded in the offseason to the Minnesota Timberwolves, and he brought back a record haul. However, he has yet to live up to the price tag, and Barkley has taken notice.

Charles Barkley Doesn’t Hold Back

Barkley was prompted to speak about Gobert because the T-Wolves were playing the Utah Jazz, who traded Rudy. In the end, the Jazz came out victorious, which defeats the whole purpose of that trade. Charles Barkley was so disgusted by it all that he couldn’t help himself. Consequently, he dubbed this the worst deal in the history of the league.

“The Timberwolves made the worst trade in NBA history… That was so stupid that trade,” Barkley said matter-of-factly. Overall, this is an incredibly harsh assessment of the situation. However, you cannot blame Barkley for this take as it is true that Gobert has been truly awful.

If you are a Timberwolves fan, it probably doesn’t feel very good right now. Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns are not the duo fans expected them to be. Instead, it looks like the T-Wolves have made a huge mistake that will take years to correct.

Let us know what you thought of the Gobert trade, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world.

Rudy Gobert Decimated For “Prosecute Fauci” Stance

by

Rudy Gobert is a player who isn’t exactly well-liked by the NBA fanbase. Many believe he is overhyped and that his defense alone doesn’t make him worth $200 million. Additionally, the pieces the T-Wolves gave up to get him were outrageous, and he has yet to live up to the deal.

On top of all of this, he is the man behind the 2020 NBA lockdown. While the lockdown was inevitable, it was Gobert’s recklessness that ultimately shut down the NBA prematurely. Subsequently, a lockdown took place nationwide, while every other league stopped working as well.

Rudy Gobert Sides With Elon Musk

Despite this history with COVID, Gobert seems to be of the idea that Dr. Anthony Fauci is some sort of criminal. In the image below, you can see that Gobert liked a recent Elon Musk tweet in which the billionaire wrote “my pronouns are prosecute/fauci.”

Disregarding the fact that Musk’s tweet is a hacky joke, it’s clear that Gobert lacks self-awareness. As many pointed out, it is rich for Gobert to be siding with these types of COVID jokes. After all, he is the reason why the NBA was shutdown, to begin with. Furthermore, his most high-profile teammate had seven family members die due to the disease.

Gobert is someone who has frequently been roasted by NBA fans. Whether it be him crying over not making it to the All-Star game or the constant Shaq roasts, it’s clear that he isn’t exceptionally well-liked. Based on all of the tweets above, it is clear that this did him absolutely no favors.

Let us know what you think of Gobert, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the basketball world.
