Gobert, who was suspended by the team for the franchise’s Tuesday night play-in game against the Lakers, punched Anderson in the chest during a timeout in Sunday’s win over the Pelicans.

Anderson explained that he was not happy with the fan response to the altercation, especially as the team looks to quickly move forward and focus on the task at hand.

“We definitely hashed it out,” Anderson told reporters during shootaround on Tuesday. “That happens all the time in sports. I feel like people are acting like they’ve never seen it before. We’re grown men. We’re able to put it behind us. We both want to win. We spoke about it that night and just seeing how everything is playing out is kind of lame, honestly. We’re teammates at the end of the day. I don’t want it to be a Kyle vs. Rudy thing. That’s never the case. I always got my teammates’ back and we moved on.”
