Rudy Gobert Triggers Automatic One-Game Suspension for Sixth Flagrant Foul

Rudy Gobert logged 22 points (9-11 FG, 4-8 FT), 17 rebounds, three blocks, one assist, and one steal in 32 minutes during Friday's 122-111 win over the Mavericks. However, he was assessed his sixth flagrant foul of the season late in the second quarter, triggering an automatic one-game suspension. The Minnesota Timberwolves center will sit out Sunday's game against the 76ers, pending NBA review. Gobert previously served a one-game ban on Jan. 13 for his fifth flagrant foul, and any further flagrant fouls will result in a two-game suspension.
