Rudy Gobert Fined $25K for Accusing NBA of Bias and Rigging Games.

Minnesota Timberwolves player Rudy Gobert has been fined $25,000 by the NBA for suggesting that the league is conspiring against his team as part of a big-market playoff agenda. Gobert claimed that the officiating was biased against the Timberwolves in their recent loss to the Phoenix Suns, and that the league was favouring bigger markets and star players. However, Gobert's claims were not supported by the data, and the Wolves' poor performance over the first half of the season has left them in a precarious position in the playoff race.
