According to a report by Shams Charania, Gobert was sent home by the Timberwolves organization right after the incident took place. The Wolves won the game but at the cost of harming their team’s chemistry.

The seven-foot big man went to Twitter to apologize when cooler heads prevailed. Gobert tweeted, “Emotions got the best of me today. I should not have reacted the way i did regardless of what was said. I wanna apologize to the fans, the organisation and particularly to Kyle, who is someone that i truly love and respect as a teammate.” His apology did not convince fans.

Another fan even posted an image that read, “Embarrassing.”

Here are a few more reactions from fans on Twitter.
