Rudy Gobert was the odd man out in a surprising set of All-Star selections from the Minnesota Timberwolves, with Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards both being selected instead. While Gobert was happy for those two, it was clear that the Timberwolves center was stung a bit by his omission.
Gobert tried to look on the bright side by pointing out that he would be getting extra vacation time, but admitted that he felt “taken for granted” and “disrespected” by the snub.
