EDGE Analysis

Gobert got into a heated argument with Anderson during a timeout and threw a punch at him, after which the two were separated and Gobert was escorted out of the arena. It's unclear if Gobert will face further punishment from the team, but Anderson started the second half in Gobert's stead. Expect the Timberwolves to provide further word on Gobert's status ahead of the start of the Western Conference Play-In Tournament, which begins Tuesday.
