Trouble often seems to find Rudy Gobert, evident in his latest incident where he received a flagrant 2 foul for a hard hit on Andrew Nembhard during a match against the Pacers. This moment came after a physical exchange with Nembhard, leading to both players being ejected. The Timberwolves, despite losing Gobert, pushed the game to overtime but ultimately fell 132-130, ending their eight-game winning streak.

Gobert's absence on the court was felt, particularly as he had just returned from a back injury. His ability to stay out of unnecessary conflicts will be crucial for Minnesota moving forward, especially in tight games where his presence is paramount.
