Minnesota Timberwolves star Rudy Gobert narrowly avoided being hit by what appeared to be a falling piece of equipment from the jumbotron at the Target Center during a game against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday.

Gobert, who finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds in the win, was walking back towards the bench at the end of the first quarter when a large object came crashing to the hardwood from above. It narrowly missed Gobert, who described it during a postgame radio interview as a "big metal piece."

Guess what? The Minnesota Timberwolves have been playing a little bit better, of late. On Monday night, Anthony Edwards & Co won their third straight game, a 100-92 victory over the putrid Atlanta Hawks.
