NBA: Wolves' Rudy Gobert suspended 1 game for flagrant foul accumulation

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.

Gobert will sit out Tuesday's road game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Gobert, 33, is averaging 11.0 points as well as a team-high 11.4 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game in his fourth season with the Timberwolves. He is shooting a team-leading 71.7% from the floor.

Under the NBA's flagrant foul points system, Gobert will now receive a suspension for each subsequent flagrant he picks up the rest of the season. If his next flagrant is a first-level offense, it will be another one-game suspension. A flagrant foul 2, or flagrant fouls of any variety after accumulating seven points, will result in a two-game suspension. — Field Level Media/Reuters
