A new flagrant foul and a new suspension for Rudy Gobert?
Although he had a very good match against Dallaswith a big double-double (22 points on 9/11 shooting, 17 rebounds and 3 blocks), Rudy Gobert he could not fully enjoy the victory of the Wolves.
Indeed, he made a new flagrant error (I) for a “unnecessary scan” in the rebound battle against Marvin Begley IIIhit the neck and head. The judges sanctioned the Frenchman while his opponent got annoyed. And the problem is that the Minnesota pivot is scheduled to miss his team’s next game…
Leader classification of flagrant errors this season with six, Rudy Gobert thus entered the NBA scoring system on the court that generates suspensions.
He was already suspended for the match in Januaryand because of that, he should be out against the Sixers tomorrow night. As a reminder, the scale set by the NBA is as follows:
– 4-point player who commits a level 2 foul: automatic one-match suspension
– A player with 5 or 6 points commits a first-level flagrant foul: automatic one-match suspension
– 5 or 6 point player who commits a Level 2 flagrant foul: automatic two game suspension
– Player with 7 or more points who commits a flagrant foul: automatic suspension for two games
Having already received four Flagrant 1s and one Flagrant 2, Rudy Gobert already had six points under his belt.
“You know what? The problem is, I get hit in the head almost every game, and we never call flagrant fouls.”, answered the Frenchmanwho hopes the league will reconsider the umpires’ decision. “But when I accidentally hit someone in the head sometimes, they never miss. They’re always very hard on me for it, especially when it’s not on purpose. So we’re going to complain. I hope they look at the situation and see that it was just an accident.”
If this is not the case, the pivot will be effectively suspended, and in addition he will display seven points on his flagrant counter foul. And each new Flagrant will then earn him a two-match suspension…
