Timberwolves Center Gobert Suspended After Another ...
Gobert’s seventh flagrant foul point this season triggers a suspension that will sideline him for Sunday’s game against Philadelphia, marking his second flagrant-related suspension this year.
- On February 22, 2026, the Minnesota Timberwolves will be without Rudy Gobert after the NBA suspended him following a flagrant foul in Friday's game.
- After review, referees determined Rudy Gobert extended his right arm into Marvin Bagley III's neck, upgrading an initial foul to a Flagrant-1 for unnecessary head and neck contact.
- Under league rules, a Flagrant-1 counts as one point, and Gobert entered with six flagrant foul points, missing the Jan. 13, 2026 game after his sixth point.
- Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves will be without Rudy Gobert when they host the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday; the Sixers arrive on night two of a back-to-back, sit sixth in the East, and face a three-game losing streak.
- Looking ahead, the team faces increased suspension risk if any future flagrant fouls during Minnesota's final 24 regular-season contests occur, as the NBA's flagrant-point system resets at the start of the postseason.
