Reports of Tension Between Gobert and LaMelo Ball in Minnesota
According to Heavy, Minnesota Timberwolves players Rudy Gobert and LaMelo Ball are reportedly having trouble getting along. Speculation has also arisen that Gobert could leave the team.
The Minnesota Timberwolves strengthened their rotation by adding point guard LaMelo Ball. However, tension in the locker room is reportedly being claimed in recent weeks.
According to Sean Deveney's report for Heavy, 34-year-old French center Rudy Gobert has struggled to adjust to 25-year-old LaMelo Ball. The report says Gobert is bothered by Ball's immature attitude and his on-court decision-making. It is stated that this friction could disrupt the balance in the locker room.
Gobert, who has a $38 million player option for next season and has not yet extended his contract, is averaging 7.6 points, 11.8 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game this season. The report says that if the four-time Defensive Player of the Year decides to leave the team, it would be difficult for Minnesota to replace him. The report also notes that Joan Beringer, the French young center drafted in the 2025 Draft, is seen as having high defensive potential, but is still a raw player.
