Rudy Gobert has quite the rap sheet

In recent years, Gobert has earned a reputation for flagrant fouls, leading to multiple suspensions. This year, he has five flagrant ones and one flagrant two called on him.

The flagrant two came in December against the Phoenix Suns. In mid-air, Gobert hit Mark Williams in the rib cage with his forearm, resulting in an ejection and suspension.

Also, Gobert was fined $100,000 for making an inappropriate gesture towards the referees in a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

In April 2023, Gobert was suspended and fined for punching teammate Kyle Anderson. Ultimately, he had to miss one game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

However, sometimes Gobert was the victim.

That November, he was on the receiving end of a headlock by Draymond Green, who was in a fight with Jaden McDaniels.

As a result, Green was hit with a five-game suspension.
