Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert was sent home by the team from Sunday’s game against the Pelicans following an altercation with Kyle Anderson that turned physical.
After the game, which Minnesota rallied to win in his absence, Gobert released a statement on Twitter, apologizing to the fans, the organization and Anderson for his outburst.
“Emotions got the best of me today. I should not have reacted the way I did regardless of what was said. I wanna apologize to the fans, the organisation, and particularly to Kyle, who is someone that I truly love and respect as a teammate,” Gobert wrote in a message posted to his Twitter account.
