US EditionWolves C Rudy Gobert Suspended 1 Game for Flagrant Foul ...
Rudy Gobert reached six flagrant foul points and will miss one game; further fouls will lead to multi-game suspensions under NBA rules.
- On Jan. 12, the NBA league office announced Rudy Gobert will miss one game after accruing six flagrant-foul points; he will serve the suspension on Jan. 13 against the Milwaukee Bucks.
- Midway through the fourth quarter at Target Center, officials ruled Gobert committed a reckless closeout by stepping into Victor Wembanyama’s landing zone on a three-point attempt, resulting in a technical foul and four free throws.
- Statistically, Gobert’s season averages 11 points, 11.4 rebounds and 1.7 blocks, but he finished Sunday’s game with two points and limited minutes after the flagrant foul and prior flagrant 2 ejection.
- Without Gobert, the Wolves will be hurt for Tuesday’s game, especially against Giannis Antetokounmpo, and rookie Joan Beringer could get minutes alongside Julius Randle and Naz Reid.
- If Gobert picks up more flagrants, NBA rules on flagrant fouls require a two-game suspension for each, but points reset in the playoffs.
