Rudy Gobert’s personal life is making headlines amid the Minnesota Timberwolves’ successful playoff run. The NBA star is facing backlash over reports that he kicked his pregnant girlfriend, Julia Bonil, and their one-year-old son out of his home.
Gobert’s alleged actions have sparked widespread criticism. What makes the situation more shocking is that Bonil was seen cheering on the Timberwolves just days ago. She was at the team’s crucial win against the Golden State Warriors, which sent them to the Western Conference finals.
The reported rift between Gobert and Bonil began when he discovered she was pregnant again. This revelation allegedly led to her being forced out of their home. According to sources, Gobert’s legal team pressured Bonil to stay in Minnesota until the custody issue is resolved after the playoffs.
Despite the off-court drama, Gobert has been a key player for the Timberwolves. In the decisive Game 7 against the Warriors, he scored 17 points and grabbed eight rebounds. Throughout the playoffs, he’s been averaging 12 points, 11 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.4 blocks per game.
The Timberwolves are now waiting for their next opponents in the Western Conference finals. The Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder are set to face off in Game 7 on Sunday at 9:30 PM to determine who they’ll play.
