Timberwolves believe Kyle Anderson-Rudy Gobert altercation was ‘a moment in time’ and nothing more

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:11:25 GMT

Chris Finch doesn’t exactly remember what he said in the heat of the moment. NBA head coaches never immediately enter the huddle at the beginning of a timeout. And by the time Finch did get to the bench, tensions were quickly rising between two of his players, Rudy Gobert and Kyle Anderson.“I would’ve probably said, ‘Calm down, calm down, let’s go, let’s focus on what we’ve got to do here,’ ” Finch told Paul Allen on KFXN-100.3 on Tuesday morning. “I think ultimately it caught us a little bit by surprise.”As well as everyone else. It’s not a common sight to see a verbal altercation lead to one teammate striking another as Gobert did to Anderson during Minnesota’s win Sunday over New Orleans in the regular=season finale, which led to the team suspending the center for Tuesday’s play-in game in Los Angeles versus the Lakers.But at the same time, the Timberwolves contend those incidents aren’t all that uncommon in professional sports. Finch noted a similar situation played out between ...
