The NBA fined Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards $50,000 on Monday for “making obscene gestures toward a game official.”
It marks the fifth time this season that Edwards has been fined, totaling $285,000.
This latest incident occurred Saturday during the second quarter of Minnesota’s 127-125 loss to the visiting Memphis Grizzlies.
Edwards previously cost himself $35,000 when he made an obscene gesture on the court during Minnesota’s 130-126 road win over Sacramento on Nov. 15.
The two-time All-Star and 2023-24 All-NBA selection then was fined three times during December.
He lost $25,000 for using profane language during a postgame interview after the Timberwolves won at Golden State 107-90; $75,000 two weeks later when he used profanity while criticizing the officiating from a 113-103 home loss to the Warriors; and $100,000 for more profanity in an interview Dec. 27 after Minnesota beat Houston 113-112.
Edwards, 23, is averaging 25.4 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game this year.
