Gobert, who’s made three NBA All Star teams, was being counted on to bring his defensive expertise (he’s also a three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year) against an inspire LeBron James. But now…he’s out for Game 1. And keep in mind…these Play-In series are just two outta three!

Bottom line: bad job on Gobert’s part. I don’t know what the reason is…but this incident may have just earned the T-Wolves a one-way ticket OUT of the Playoffs. I’m Davey Mac…that’s my Sports Two Cents.
