Timberwolves’ Rudy Gobert to serve 1-game suspension against Bucks, triggered by flagrant foul total | National Sports

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert must serve a one-game suspension due to the number of flagrant fouls he has accumulated this season.

The NBA announced that Gobert will sit out on Tuesday when the Timberwolves visit the Milwaukee Bucks. They’ll also be without star guard Anthony Edwards, who was ruled out for maintenance of a right foot injury that kept him out of three games last month.
