Rudy Gobert Suspended for One Game
Rudy Gobert, a star player for the Minnesota Timberwolves, has to sit out one game because he has too many flagrant fouls.

He got his sixth flagrant foul point in a game against the San Antonio Spurs.
Gobert says he didn't mean to hurt anyone, but the rules say he has to miss a game now.
Another flagrant foul could mean more games missed.
The Timberwolves will also be without Anthony Edwards, who is injured.
Rudy Gobert suspended for one game due to six flagrant foul points.
Suspension triggered by a level 1 flagrant foul against Victor Wembanyama.
