NBA players Rudy Gobert, Mouhamed Gueye almost hit by the fall of debris during the game

The star of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Rudy Gobert and the great man of Atlanta Hawks, Mouhamed Gueye, avoided little serious injuries on Monday night at the Target Center in Minneapolis.

The two men left the court at the end of the first quarter when a piece of rubble fell from the jumbotron above the court. Gobert apparently felt that the piece fell by his head while leaving the floor. His timberwolves teammates seemed to be amazed.

The center talked about the incident after the game.

“It happened) just in front of me. I don’t know if that is good or bad,” he told reporters, through Fox 9.

None of the players was injured in the incident.

Minnesota was able to build on the eight-point advantage he had after the first quarter and win the game, 100-92. Gobert had 18 points, 10 rebounds and two blockages. Anthony Edwards led the team with 23 points, five rebounds and four assists.

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

Timberwolves chief coach Chris Finch was not exactly happy with how he won his team. Atlanta returned to the game after overcoming Minnesota 31-20 in the third quarter.

“That was a second half of basketball totally unacceptable. If we are trying to be a team, we are trying to go where we are trying to go, that’s not good enough,” said Finch.
