The Minnesota Timberwolves were down by 12 points when the incident occurred. They rallied for a 113-108 victory, which set them up for a play-in battle against the LA Lakers on Tuesday.
Rudy Gobert is likely facing a team suspension. It's a far from ideal situation for Minnesota, who traded five players, four first-round picks and a first-round pick swap for the three-time Defensive Player of the Year winner.
