Overview

• The NBA fined Anthony Edwards $50,000 for directing inappropriate language and making an obscene gesture toward a fan during Game 1 in Los Angeles.
• The incident occurred in the third quarter while Edwards, Rudy Gobert, and Donte DiVincenzo were at the scorer’s table, with Edwards responding to fan taunts aimed at Gobert.
• Edwards reportedly defended Gobert by saying, 'Rudy got $200 million, he got $200 million. My d**k is bigger than yours.'
• This fine adds to a season-long series of disciplinary actions against Edwards, including multiple fines, a suspension, and a rescinded technical foul.
• Despite the controversy, Edwards delivered a near triple-double performance with 22 points, eight rebounds, and nine assists in the Timberwolves' 117-95 victory over the Lakers in Game 1.
