Jon Krawczynski: Important clarification on Rudy Gobert's flagrant foul points (he is 1 away from a suspension, 2 away from a two-game suspension): The points DO reset for the playoffs. So once they get there, it will go back to 0, per the NBA.
Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert was inexplicably called for a foul on a play where he didn't even touch Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein.
22 games into their season, the Minnesota Timberwolves' leader in net rating isn't superstar scorer Anthony Edwards or four-time defensive player of the year Rudy Gobert. It isn't Julius Randle, their second option on offense, or Jaden McDaniels, who is having a breakout scoring campaign to complement his excellent defense.
Gobert has a lengthy list of fines from the NBA. Throughout his 13-year career, the 7-foot-1 center has amassed 98 infractions, totaling $493,000 in fines. This is on top of the one-game suspension he received in 2023 for throwing a punch against New Orleans Pelicans forward Kyle Anderson.
