NBA star Rudy Gobert narrowly avoids death after piece of jumbotron falls from above
Timberwolves Center Rudy Gobert fought serious injury on Monday evening when a piece of the Jumbotron of the target center fell from Boven and almost hit him.
At the end of the first quarter, Gobert went to his team’s bank, with Minnesota at the time led Atlanta 28-20.
And a disaster almost struck when a black device crashed about a foot in front of him and bounced off the field.
A visibly shocked Gobert quickly took a step back and put his hands on his head.
His teammate Naz Reid also looked stunned and looked up at the Jumbotron.
The piece that fell seemed to be part of the horn that sounds in the Arena.

Fortunately, the French big man was unharmed and the game was able to finish with 18 points and 10 rebounds when Minnesota won.
Asked after the game or his life at the end of the first quarter before his eyes flashed, Gobert offered simple answers to reporters.
“Yes,” he said with a smile.
The Timberwolves revealed their new Jumbotron In 2016, each of the four main displays of about 18 feet high and 33 feet wide.
The addition of the video boards was part of a renovation of $ 128.9 million Target Center.
