Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert was ejected with 9:22 left in the second quarter after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul against Oklahoma City forward Kenrich Williams.
The incident unfolded after Williams drove to the basket and both he and Gobert hit the ground. Something spurred Gobert to react by sticking his foot out to trip Williams, who crashed to the court on his right shoulder as a result.
