Rudy Gobert picked up another flagrant foul Friday against Dallas. After an official review, the referees determined Gobert delivered unnecessary contact to the head and neck area of Marvin Bagley III as the two jostled for position in the final minute of the first half.
It was a flagrant-1, meaning Gobert was able to resume play in the game. But it’s another flagrant point on Gobert’s season-long ledger, meaning the center will again be suspended by the NBA. He will miss Sunday’s game against Philadelphia.
It’s the second game Gobert has missed this season due to an excess of flagrant foul points.
Any future flagrant fouls accrued over Minnesota’s final 24 regular season contests will result in an automatic two-game suspension for the Frenchman.
The flagrant foul point system does reset at the start of the postseason.
