WASHINGTON — Anthony Edwards has yet another bill to pay to the NBA. The Minnesota Timberwolves star has been fined $50,000 for making obscene gestures toward a game official.
The league announced the punishment on Monday before Minnesota’s 120-106 win at Washington, citing his conduct with 1:26 left in the third quarter of the 127-125 loss to Memphis on Saturday. Edwards scored 41 points in Monday’s win.
