Tempers were flaring during a game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and New Orleans Pelicans this afternoon, but the hostility wasn’t between opposing teams.
During a first half timeout, as Timberwolves teammates Rudy Gobert and Kyle Anderson appeared to engage in a verbal altercation in the team huddle, Gobert threw a punch at Anderson, causing the two to be separated. The team announced Gobert was sent home after the incident and won’t return for the rest of the game.
