Rudy Gobert sent a not-so-subtle message to longtime NBA referee, Scott Foster, after he called his fifth foul on him during the Timberwolves' Game 4 loss to the Nuggets.
The Minnesota center was called for an offensive foul after shoving Jamal Murray as he grabbed a rebound with a few minutes left of play in the Wolves' 115-107 loss Sunday night.
He briefly flashed the money sign with his hands while shaking his head as he walked down the court.
The refs didn't notice the gesture, which seemed to imply that Foster was on the take, but eagle-eyed viewers were quick to point it out while watching the TV broadcast.
It wasn't the first time Gobert has rubbed his fingers together after being fouled by Foster.

Gobert earned a costly technical foul after making a money gesture back in March
Back in March, the former Utah player made the same gesture during a game against the Cavaliers late in the fourth quarter.
Gobert was hit with a technical by official Natalie Sago, allowing Darius Garland to make a free throw to tie the game.
He doubled down on the March incident in a post-game interview.
'I'll bite the bullet again,' Gobert said at the time.
'I'll be the bad guy. I'll take the fine, but I think it's hurting our game. I know the betting and all that is becoming bigger and bigger, but it shouldn't feel that way.'
However, assistant coach Micah Nori, who was filling in for an ill Chris Finch, was less than impressed.
'A technical foul with 27 seconds in the game, to be honest, is unacceptable,' he said.
'That's who Rudy is, but you´ve got to be smart. He made a visual that was automatic. He was obviously frustrated - both teams were - but we have to be smarter.'
