Overview
- League discipline followed a Flagrant 1 on Victor Wembanyama for a landing-space violation during Minnesota’s 104–103 win over San Antonio.
- Minnesota also listed Anthony Edwards out for the Bucks game due to right foot injury maintenance, thinning the rotation alongside Gobert’s absence.
- The punishment is without pay, with reports estimating Gobert will forfeit about $201,149 and the Timberwolves will receive a $100,575 tax variance credit.
- Reports this season show a sharp defensive drop without Gobert on the floor, with estimates of roughly a 109.15 defensive rating with him and 122.12 without him.
- Gobert’s six points include multiple Flagrant 1s and a December Flagrant 2 for elbowing Mark Williams, establishing the total that triggered the suspension.
