0 During a game on March 8th, Minnesota Timberwolves’ center Rudy Gobert made an inappropriate gesture towards a referee during their game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. As a result of his actions, the NBA has fined Gobert $100,000. The fine was officially announced today by Joe Dumars, the Head of Basketball Operations at the NBA.
Gobert’s past behaviour of making inappropriate gestures towards the NBA and publicly criticizing officiating was also taken into consideration while imposing the fine. The NBA has taken a strong stance against such unacceptable behaviour and has made it clear that they will not tolerate it.
The incident occurred during and after the Timberwolves’ 113-104 overtime loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The NBA expects all players to act professionally and show respect towards the referees and their decisions, and any violation of these standards will result in strict penalties. The league has made it clear that players will be held accountable for their actions, and they will not hesitate to impose penalties for any inappropriate behaviour.
