Gobert received a technical foul for making a money gesture after being called for his sixth foul in the closing seconds of the game.
The Timberwolves were leading at the time but ended up losing in overtime. Gobert in post-game comments expressed concerns about gambling influencing NBA officiating stating that it’s hurting the game. While admitting his immature reaction, he emphasized his belief in the larger issue.
