Charles Barkley has a little fun at the expense of Rudy Gobert.

Charles Barkley loves a good prank. The NBA on TNT co-host can take it just as well as he dishes it out. Tuesday, on pre-game coverage of the play-in tournament, Barkley decided to have a little fun. But that fun came at the expense of Minnesota Timberwolves star Rudy Gobert. Gobert made headlines this week after attempting to strike teammate Kyle Anderson during a timeout. The action has since resulted in Gobert's suspension from the play-in tournament.

However, that doesn't mean that others can't have fun at Gobert's expense. Barkley decided to give his input on the situation the only way Barkley can. The NBA Hall-of-Famer took a shot at Gobert's actions that resulted in his suspension.“I’m Rudy Gobert... You can't hit somebody and run backwards." Barkley throws a little salt in the wounds when discussing Gobert's action. It was hard to keep a straight face for the rest of the crew. Check out the hilarious video below.

Charles Barkley Throws Shade At Gobert

Gobert's actions are funny to some. But the Timberwolves will be without their big man in the seventh-seed play-in matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers. Everything seemed to go wrong for the Timberwolves during their regular season finale. The incident with Gobert and Anderson was a big enough black eye. However, it wasn't the team's only loss of the day. Forward Jaden McDaniels fractured his hand after punching a wall at halftime. A franchise in disarray will now fight for a playoff spot against a team that has slowly become a favorite to win it all. The Timberwolves and Lakers will be the second game of Tuesday's slate of play-in games.

Charles Barkley understands how heated an NBA sideline can get. The former Suns star has long been known for his firey personality. However, since retiring Charles has become everyone's favorite NBA analyst. Barkley and Shaq have continued their off-the-court rivalry. Which has created great television. What are your thoughts on Barkley's jab at Gobert? Do you think the joking is too much on the Timberwolves star? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.
