Rudy Gobert is a happy, new father!
Congratulations are in order for Gobert and his girlfriend, Julie Bonilla, as they welcomed their son into the world.
However, Gobert was forced to miss Game 2 of the Minnesota Timberwolves playoff series against the Denver Nuggets in Denver because of this.
Gobert’s Timberwolves did not miss their center as they went on to easily defeat the Nuggets by 36 points.

Not everybody was a fan of the decision Gobert made to miss the game though.
Enter three-time NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas who is never afraid to speak his mind.
Gilbert Arenas calls out Rudy Gobert for missing a playoff game for the birth of his child
“It’s a baby bro, it’s gonna be there when you get back.”
Many did not agree with Arenas’ assessment on this one.
Gobert was certainly pleased to see his Timberwolves take a 2-0 lead in their playoff series against the defending champion Denver Nuggets.
He will be back in uniform for Game 3 when the series heads to Minnesota.
