Minnesota Timberwolves star Rudy Gobert has been fined $75,000
The NBA announced on Tuesday morning that for an inappropriate gesture in Game 4 vs. the Denver Nuggets.
“Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert has been fined $75,000 for making an inappropriate and unprofessional gesture that questions the integrity of the league and its game officials, it was announced today by Joe Dumars, Executive Vice President, Head of Basketball Operations. The fine takes into account Gobert's history of improper conduct toward game officials.
This is the second time Gobert has been fined for doing this, as he clearly feels a certain type of way about the officiating. As the announcement stated, the fine takes into account Gobert’s past actions, which include the same money gesture he made in Game 4. Gobert and the Timberwolves were obviously frustrated with the officiating in this loss, and will look to bounce back in Game 5 to avoid dropping three-straight games to the defending champions. A Game 5 loss would put Minnesota on the brink of elimination, which would be a shocking turn of events after they jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the series.Title: Credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation Email: joeylinn32@sbcglobal.
