Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert will serve a one-game suspension for Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers, the NBA announced on Saturday.<\/a><\/p>\n

The All-Star center picked up a flagrant foul at the end of the second quarter Friday against the Dallas Mavericks, triggering an automatic one-game suspension. The play, in which Gobert struck Marvin Bagley III in the face with his forearm while fighting for a rebound, was initially called a common foul, but officials ruled it a Flagrant 1 after review.<\/p>\n

Gobert finished the game, a 122-111 Minnesota win<\/a>, with 22 points on 9-of-11 shooting with 17 rebounds (a season-high 10 on offense) and three blocks.<\/p>\n

Gobert has already missed a game due to his flagrant foul total<\/a>, as he served a suspension during a Jan. 13 game against the Milwaukee Bucks after a flagrant on Victor Wembanyama. No other NBA player has more than four flagrant fouls on the season.<\/p>\n

The Frenchman has now been called for six flagrants on the season, with seven total points (in which a Flagrant 1 equals one point and a Flagrant 2 equals two points). Players with five or six flagrant points in a season receive a one-game suspension if they’re hit with a Flagrant 1 and a two-game suspension in the event of a Flagrant 2.<\/p>\n

But with Gobert now at seven points, he faces a two-game suspension if he commits any sort of flagrant foul for the rest of the season. The T-Wolves will be hoping it doesn’t come to that for the four-time Defensive Player of the Year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert will serve a one-game suspension for Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers, the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":615647,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3724],"tags":[7,149,758,6338,121,152,207,373,693],"class_list":{"0":"post-616767","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-basketball","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-dallas-mavericks","10":"tag-flagrant-foul","11":"tag-marvin-bagley-iii","12":"tag-milwaukee-bucks","13":"tag-minnesota-timberwolves","14":"tag-philadelphia-76ers","15":"tag-rudy-gobert","16":"tag-victor-wembanyama"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116111574519995295","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/616767","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=616767"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/616767\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/615647"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=616767"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=616767"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=616767"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
