Stephen A. Smith has branded Rudy Gobert's decision to punch teammate Kyle Anderson as 'idiotic' after the All-Star center was sent home Sunday from the Timberwolves' win over the Pelicans.

During the second quarter of the game, Gobert and Anderson clashed as the latter reportedly told the big man to block some shots, and the former urged the other to grab some rebounds.

Anderson then told Gobert to 'shut the f*** up, b****,' according to ESPN, which set off the Frenchman and forced teammates to intervene.

While Gobert has since apologized for his behavior, Smith blasted him Monday on ESPN's First Take. 

'The behavior was idiotic and it's an embarrassment to the city of [Minneapolis] and the Timberwolves organization,' he said.
