The NBA announced that Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards has been fined $35K for his actions in Thursday’s 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 (Twitter 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 Minnesota’s 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.

Anthony Edwards has quickly established himself as one of the NBA’s most electrifying young stars, known for his explosive athleticism, scoring ability, and charismatic personality. Since being drafted first overall by the Minnesota Timberwolves, he has consistently improved, becoming a key leader and go-to scorer for the team. His fearless approach to the game, combined with his highlight-reel dunks and clutch performances, has made him a fan favorite and a rising face of the league. Whether attacking the rim with authority or delivering confident post-game interviews, Edwards brings an energy that sets him apart from many of his peers.

However, his outspoken nature and competitive fire have occasionally landed him in hot water, as seen with his recent $35K fine from the NBA. While the league didn’t take kindly to his actions, many fans and analysts believe Edwards’ passion for the game is what makes him special. Despite the setback, he remains focused on leading the Timberwolves to greater success and proving he can be one of the league’s next great superstars. If he continues to develop his all-around game while keeping his emotions in check, there’s no doubt he’ll be a dominant force in the NBA for years to come.
