Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards was fined $35,000 on Sunday by the NBA for making an obscene gesture on the court.
The incident happened Friday with 3:15 left in the first quarter of Minnesota’s 130-126 overtime road victory against the Sacramento Kings. Edwards’ gesture appeared to be directed toward someone in the stands.
This isn’t the first hefty fine assessed to Edwards this year. The NBA fined him $40,000 for “repeatedly publicly criticizing the officiating” following a 107-101 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Jan. 29.
Edwards, 23, leads Minnesota in scoring, averaging 28.4 points per game.
