Gobert's Flagrant Foul Will Cost Him Dearly

Published January 13, 2026, 08:32

Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert will face a financial penalty due to a flagrant foul on Victor Wembanyama. The foul was his sixth flagrant of the season, automatically resulting in a one-game suspension. In addition, $201,149 will be deducted from his contract. While the amount is significant, it is not expected to substantially affect Gobert, who has earned approximately $296 million in his NBA career.
