The NBA established records for total attendance, average attendance, percentage of capacity and sellouts this season, the league announced in a news release on Monday.

A record 791 sellouts easily surpassed the 760 figure set during the 2018-19 season. And the league's arenas were filled to an all-time-high 97% capacity, according to the release.

The league's total attendance mark of 22,234,502 broke the previous record of 22,124,559 set in the 2017-18 season, and was aided by a game played at the Alamodome between the San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors, in which 68,323 fans were in attendance.

 

Timberwolves Suspend Rudey Gobert

The Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday suspended center Rudey Gobert for Tuesday's play-in game against the Los Angeles Lakers after he threw a punch at teammate Kyle Anderson in a team huddle Sunday.

The Timberwolves will be without Gobert and power forward Jaden McDaniels, who fractured the third and fourth metacarpals of his right hand after punching a wall in an arena tunnel in Sunday's costly victory over New Orleans.
