Rudy Gobert: Next time, I’ll do justice myself so the official can eject me for a reason
Jazz’s Rudy Gobert pledges to do ‘justice’ to justify next ejection
Rudy Gobert has been ejected in the game between Utah Jazz and Toronto Raptors but he did not agree with officials’ decision.
Per ESPN, “I don’t think it makes sense to me. But next time, I’ll do justice myself so the official can eject me for a reason,” Gobert told reporters.
Gobert and the Raptors’ OG Anunoby were thrown out with 40.6 seconds left after jawing with each other. They received double technicals and had to be separated by teammates.
Gobert said Anunoby “tried to elbow me in the face.”
“And the guy that’s getting paid to protect the other players didn’t do his job,” Gobert said, referring to the officials. “There was a little altercation, and we both got ejected when I didn’t do anything back, pretty much, which I don’t understand.”
