WATCH: Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert ejected for tripping Thunder's Kenrich Williams
Minnesota Timber wolves big man Rudy Gobert was sent to the showers early on Saturday night for a bizarre incident in which he tripped Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kenrich Williams. Gobert was assessed a Flagrant 2 foul after the referees determined his actions were unnecessary and excessive. A few minutes into the second quarter, Williams went strong to the paint and tossed in a tough floater over Gobert's outstretched arms. There was no foul called on the play, but the two collided in mid air and both fell to the ground under the basket. As Williams stood up, Gobert stretched out his leg and tripped him. He then also appeared to kick out at Williams.
