NBA players Rudy Gobert, Mouhamed Gueye almost struck by the fall in debris during the match

The Minnesota Timberwolves star, Rudy Gobert and the Grand Man of the Hawks of Atlanta, Mouhamed Gueye, rightly avoided serious injuries on Monday evening at the target center of Minneapolis.

The two men left the ground at the end of the first quarter when a piece of debris fell from the Jumbotron above the court. Gobert apparently felt the song fall in front of his head as he left the ground. His teammates Timberwolves seemed impressed.

The center spoke of the incident after the match.

“It (it happened) right in front of me. I don’t know if it’s good or bad,” he told journalists, via Fox 9.

Neither of the two players was injured in the incident.

The Minnesota was able to rely on the eight points he had after the first quarter and win the match, 100-92. Gobert had 18 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks. Anthony Edwards led the team with 23 points, five rebounds and four assists.

Gueye collected four points and four rebounds in 19 minutes of action. De’Andre Hunter had 35 points on the bench for the Hawks. Clint Capela added 10 points and 15 rebounds.

Timberwolves’ head coach Chris Finch was not really satisfied with the way his team won. Atlanta returned to the match after upgrading Minnesota 31-20 in the third quarter.

“It was a completely unacceptable second half of basketball. If we try to be a team, we try to go where we are trying to go, it’s not good enough,” said Finch.
