Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert has taken issue with officials before. Most notably, Gobert was fined $100,000 for flashing a money sign toward a referee last season. It was the fourth time Gobert was fined for publicly criticizing officials. He soon took a reprieve from his harsh critiques.

The Minnesota Timberwolves had three starters missing from their game against NBA -leading Oklahoma City on Thursday night, with center Rudy Gobert joining the injured group with lower-back spasms in his first absence of the season.
