Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert has been suspended one game without pay after he sustained his sixth flagrant foul point of the season in Sunday's 104-103 victory over the San Antonio Spurs.
Part of what makes the NBA, or any pro sports league, so compelling to watch is the narratives, especially those centered on rivalries. Throughout the decades, the NBA has fostered a number of rivalries, some long-lasting and others short but sweet.
For over a month leading up to NBA on Christmas Day, Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards previewed a festive green-and-red colorway of his second signature adidas basketball shoe.
Rudy Gobert will be suspended for one game due to his accumulation of flagrant fouls, reports The Athletic’s Jon Krawczynski (Twitter link).

The San Antonio Spurs looked like they had the game wrapped up against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday, with star boy Anthony Edwards looking off for most of the game.

Fans standing at the beginning of the game for so long that their feet started to ache, a 19-point deficit, a head coach out sick, and perhaps the loudest crowd pop of the season that rivaled the Oklahoma City Thunder game when the final buzzer sounded and Anthony Edwards threw the ball form halfcourt.
The San Antonio Spurs were favorites to get the better of the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday, and they very well might have done so if not for an inspiring comeback.
Less than two weeks into 2026, it's safe to say that everyone is tired. That includes the Minnesota Timberwolves and San Antonio Spurs. They will tip off Sunday evening in Minneapolis after both teams played one day earlier.
