Underperforming Gobert, Fournier finds playing time and Maledon seizes his chance

This Saturday in the NBA, Rudy Gobert and Minnesota experienced a new setback against Detroit. Evan Fournier had playing time with New York while Théo Maledon and Frank Ntilikina performed well with Charlotte and Dallas.

This Saturday evening, Rudy Gobert and Evan Fournier were on deck. Minnesota was opposed to Detroit while New York traveled to Houston. The Wolves lost (116-104) while the Knicks won easily (108-88). At the brand, Rudy Gobert offered a new performance below his standards of previous seasons. The native of Saint-Quentin compiled 9 points at 3/3 on shots, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks. After six weeks without playing, Evan Fournier finds himself at the end of playing time. Against the Houston Rockets, the back of the Blues still took advantage of the absence of RJ Barrett and Jalen Brunson (both injured). In total, he shot 8 points at 2/8 on shots including 2/6 at 3-points, 1 rebound and 1 assist in 20 minutes spent on the floor.

Best performance of the season for Ntilikina, good outing for Maledon

Other French people were also on the court this Saturday evening. With Dallas, Frank Ntilikina scored 9 points and took 3 rebounds in 18 minutes in his team’s victory at San Antonio (126-125). On the side of Charlotte, Théo Maledon was played 12 minutes and took advantage of it to be efficient by compiling 8 points at 2/8 on shots, 1 rebound, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. Finally the Clippers lost to Indiana and evolved without Moussa Diabaté, who left for the G-League, while Nicolas Batum was preserved after being hit in the ankle against Boston on Thursday evening.
