Minnesota Timberwolves big man Rudy Gobert has been slapped with a big fine from the NBA after insinuating to officials that he believed they had a sports bet on the game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night. With less than 30 seconds left in a tight game, where the Timberwolves led the Cavs 97-96, Gobert was called for a foul, which was his sixth of the night. Gobert fouled out of the game, and he did not like Scott Foster’s call.
The T-Wolves were the top team in the West, but their loss and an Oklahoma City Thunder victory led the latter to jump Minnesota for the lead. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
