After sending out a tweet yesterday in reference to Rudy Gobert punching his teammate Kyle Anderson, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green hopped on his podcast to give some more detailed thoughts. 

In his most recent episode, which was released on Monday, Green implied that a lot of people believe Gobert is soft, saying, "Kyle Anderson uttered some words to Rudy Gobert that a lot of people think... I personally think Rudy Gobert is on the softer side."

Green sarcastically applauded Gobert for standing up for himself, saying it wasn’t something he knew Gobert was capable of doing. Green has made several comments about the Timberwolves center over the last several years, and seemed especially motivated to share his piece on what transpired on the bench with Kyle Anderson, as Gobert was quick to comment on Green's incident with Jordan Poole before the season began. 

It was announced on Monday morning that Gobert would be suspended by the Timberwolves for their play-in game vs. the Lakers. This is a big blow for a Minnesota team that is already without their back-up center Naz Reid, and their best perimeter defender in Jaden McDaniels.

The Timberwolves are very shorthanded against the Lakers, but it is primarily due to their own actions. With Gobert striking Anderson, and McDaniels punching a wall, the two defensive anchors for Minnesota have taken themselves out of the picture for this massive game.
