The recent match between Minnesota Timberwolves Vs. New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday was full of surprises. The first quarter of the match was a tumultuous one, but the Timberwolves geared up in the second half and knocked out the New Orleans Pelicans with a 113-108 win. However, the rising tension to make it to the play-ins was evident among the Timberwolves members. A video of Rudy Gobert hitting star forward Kyle Anderson during a time-out huddle surfaced on the internet and received attention from notable celebrities. 

In a recent Twitter post, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s eldest son, Patrick Schwarzenegger, responded to the viral video with a bold remark. His comment hinted at his stance on the matter and called out Gobert for his actions. Here’s what he said.

The chaos intensified after the punch as Taurean Prince bolted towards Gobert, shoving him away from Anderson. The latter momentarily charged toward Gobert while other teammates blocked him from the athlete in question. The initial argument suddenly paced up and caused the scuffle on the sidelines itself.

“Rudy Gobert punching his teammate Kyle Anderson,” the caption of the post read. Reportedly, the French pro walked back to the locker room and was also reeled out from the rest of the game, yesterday. However, Anderson continued with the crucial match. The 30-year-old athlete’s fate in the play-ins and post-season remains undetermined. The team is set to play their next match on Tuesday.

Surprisingly, Giannis vouched to pay for his teammate and buddy, Lopez’s fine. “Definitely going to pay for his tech, I’m gonna…what you call it, the reimbursement? I already told them.
