Rudy Gobert: Gambling Hurts The NBA

The Minnesota Timberwolves lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers, which saw Rudy Gobert foul out, and now he is saying the league and their officials are corrupted by gambling.

During the game, Gobert flashed a money gesture towards officials, resulting in a technical foul. After the game, the veteran believes these decisions are more than just mistakes.

“I made some mistakes. I airballed a dunk. Mistakes happen. Referees make mistakes, too,” Gobert said. “But sometimes I think it’s more than mistakes. I think everyone that’s in this league knows. I think it’s got to get better.”

Gobert, who doesn’t mind being the “bad guy” to speak “the truth,” is doubling down on his claims of gambling being a horrific negative for the league.

“I think it’s hurting our game. I know the betting and all that is becoming bigger and bigger, but it shouldn’t feel that way,” Gobert said.

This season, like those in the past, has had players and coaches speak out on officiating and how it can look to be corrupted.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the New York Knicks and Malcolm Brogdon have agreed to a one-year contract.

This will be his tenth season in the league, as last season saw him playing with the Washington Wizards. Since winning Sixth Man of the Year in 2022-23, Brogdon has only played in 63 games.

Due to his injury history, New York will have the 32-year-old come off the bench in a more limited capacity to try to save his life span throughout the season.

According to multiple reports, the Miami Heat are looking to address their frontcourt depth needs and they have locked eyes on potentially acquiring Precious Achiuwa.

Both sides have mutual interest in one another, as the 25-year-old wrapped up his one-year, $6 million contract with the New York Knicks.

Last season saw a slight dip in statistical productivity from Achiuwa, as he was down in both points and rebounds.

If Miami were to waive Terry Rozier, then they would have enough room to sign a player like Achiuwa. They currently don’t have enough room for even a veteran minimum contract signing.
