It’s game time for the second in a series against the Denver Nuggets and lead Timberwolves defender Rudy Gobert is taking the night off. For what you say? For the birth of his baby. My. Times have changed.
I guess the team is on-board with his decisions. As they should be.
Gobert and the Timberwolves were well aware that he might have to miss a playoff game for the birth of his child, and the team has been nothing but supportive of his choice to be at his girlfriend’s side for such an important life moment.
“I would do anything I can to be there,” Gobert told the Deseret News in March. “I don’t think there’s any debate to have. Coach Finch and every guy in this locker room, that’s what I love about them, we have a level of human connection and empathy for one another that I think is really good. And I think all the guys will be literally telling me, ‘Don’t play, go.’”

The team has tons of momentum. Let’s hope this opens up an opportunity for one more player to become a star.
