Rudy Gobert after his transfer to the Minnesota Timberwolves: “I’m not going there to take the temperature”

Rudy Gobert (2.16 m, 30 years old) had not yet publicly expressed himself on what will constitute one of the transfers of the summer in the NBA. The three-time best defender in the American League (2018, 2019 and 2021) will settle down with the Minnesota Timberwolves, who did everything to get the Utah Jazz pivot. Reached by phone late in the evening on Sunday, the pivot of the France team, which he will join this summer with a view to the Eurobasket (from September 1 to 18), took the time to express the emotions which went through it when he found out he was being traded, which he was prepared to go through.
