Tensions boiled over during the Minnesota Timberwolves clash with the Indiana Pacers as Rudy Gobert and Andrew Nembhard were both ejected following a heated altercation.
The incident unfolded after Nembhard caught Mike Conley in the face, drawing an immediate reaction from Gobert, who threw a shoulder at Nembhard in defense of his teammate. The scuffle quickly escalated, forcing officials to step in and assess double ejections for both players.
With Rudy Gobert out, Minnesota was forced to go smaller for the rest of the game, but Naz Reid stepped up, leading the team in first-half scoring with a red-hot start.
Gobert has always been vocal about protecting his teammates, and this latest incident proves he’s willing to back it up physically. While emotions ran high, the Timberwolves now face the challenge of closing out the game without their defensive anchor.
