The Minnesota Timberwolves are in a tough spot ahead of their NBA play-in game against the Los Angeles Lakers. In their season closer on Sunday, Wolves center Rudy Gobert can be seen swinging at his teammate Kyle Anderson in the huddle.

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.
