Anthony Edwards Suspended After 16th Technical Foul in Lakers Loss

The Timberwolves star faces suspension and fines following his ejection for unsportsmanlike conduct, raising concerns about his on-court discipline.

Anthony Edwards received his 16th technical foul of the season during Thursday's game against the Lakers, triggering an automatic one-game suspension under NBA rules.
The Timberwolves guard was ejected in the third quarter after directing profanity at an official and throwing the ball into the stands, actions likely to incur additional fines.
Edwards has accumulated $320,000 in fines this season, with multiple incidents stemming from profane language and emotional outbursts on the court.
Minnesota head coach Chris Finch and teammates have emphasized the need for Edwards to manage his emotions better, as his absences could jeopardize the team's playoff aspirations.
The Timberwolves, currently ninth in the Western Conference standings, narrowly lost to the Jazz without Edwards, highlighting his critical role in their postseason push.
