Rudy Gobert makes a successful debut with Minnesota, Olivier Sarr seizes the opportunity

Rudy Gobert had a great first outing with Minnesota in the NBA preseason. Olivier Sarr also showed up with Portland, once morest weak opposition.

After attending Victor Wembanyama’s second game of Metropolitans 92, Rudy Gobert played his first preseason game with the Minnesota Timberwolves, once morest the Los Angeles Lakers (who did not field LeBron James). Chris Finch’s players made the difference in the second quarter to finally win 114 to 99. It must be said that Rudy Gobert did the job, he who accumulated 5 points at 2/4 on shots, 12 rebounds (all taken in the first half), 3 assists and 2 steals in 17 minutes. In short, a successful first.
