Rudy Gobert’s Shocking Suspension: What Sparked the NBA’s Unexpected One-Game Ban?
Advertisement
Gobert came into the contest with five flagrant foul points on the season. Under the NBA’s flagrant foul points system, a player with at least five flagrant foul points is automatically given a suspension if they are called for a flagrant foul 1 or higher during a game.
The 33-year-old Gobert is now in a situation where he would receive an automatic suspension every time he commits another flagrant foul. If that foul is classified as a flagrant foul 1 next time, Gobert would receive a one-game ban. If he commits a flagrant foul 2, he would reach seven flagrant foul points on the season and automatically be suspended for two games.
