Arr, the landlubber Rudy Gobert be blabberin' 'bout the skirmish with them Golden State Warriors, callin' it "clown behavior." But oh, what a jolly spectacle it was! Aye, me hearties, the court be a circus, with fools dancin' and jesters playin'.
Minnesota Timberwolves player Rudy Gobert found himself in the middle of a skirmish during a game against the Golden State Warriors. The incident occurred when Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels and Warriors player Klay Thompson got into a shoving match. Gobert intervened and appeared to grab Thompson's head, leading to Draymond Green putting Gobert in a headlock. As a result, all three players were ejected from the game. Gobert described the behavior as "clown behavior" while Warriors coach Steve Kerr expressed his disagreement with Thompson's ejection and accused McDaniels of instigating the fight. McDaniels claimed he was merely defending himself and that Thompson had grabbed his collar. Gobert, with his hands up, was put in a headlock by Green. The crew chief, Tyler Ford, referred to Gobert as a "peacemaker" and stated that he wasn't ejected for his involvement. T'Wolves coach Chris Finch supported the ejections and commended the referees for getting control of the game. It is expected that disciplinary action will be taken. Overall, the incident added a level of excitement and physicality to the game, but it was not considered dangerous or out of control.
