NBA fines Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards yet again

The NBA announced that Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards has been fined $35K for his actions in Thursdays game against the Lakers.

A release from the league states that after being ejected for picking up a second technical foul, Edwards failed to leave the court in a timely manner and threw the ball into the stands (X video link ).

The latest fine brings his total for the season to $320K for six separate incidents.

Edwards and L.A.

forward Jarred Vanderbilt were whistled for double technicals for shoving each other in the first quarter.

The ejection came in the third quarter after Edwards complained to officials about a no-call.

The two technicals brought Edwards total to 16 for the season.

That carries an automatic one-game suspension, which he served Friday night during Minnesotas loss at Utah.

The Wolves were already missing Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle due to injuries, so Edwards absence left them without three starters.

Edwards will receive another one-game suspension for every two technical fouls he is assessed for the remainder of the season.

At 32-28, the Timberwolves are one game away from moving into the top six in the West and three and a half from sliding out of the play-in tournament, so it will be crucial for Edwards to stay on the court.
