Anthony Edwards may have balled out in Game 1 against the Lakers, but it’s what happened off the scoreboard that’s costing him. The NBA hit the Timberwolves star with a $50,000 fine for using “inappropriate language” and making a gesture toward a Lakers fan during Minnesota’s big 117-95 playoff win.
This marks Edwards’ seventh fine this season, with his total tab now sitting at a wild $370,000. He’s been fined before for throwing the ball into the stands, cussing in interviews, and other outbursts the league didn’t love.
Still, he put on a show that night—dropping 22 points, grabbing 8 boards, and dishing out 9 assists. Now, the Wolves will try to ride that wave into Game 2, set for Tuesday at 9 p.m. CT.
