NBA Fines Anthony Edwards $100K for Profanity in Postgame Interview

The Timberwolves star's escalating fines total $235,000 this season, with the league citing his repeated violations of conduct policies.

Anthony Edwards was fined $100,000 for using profanity during a live postgame interview following the Timberwolves' 113-112 victory over the Houston Rockets on December 27.
The NBA stated that the fine amount was influenced by Edwards' history of similar infractions, including multiple fines for profanity and an obscene gesture earlier this season.
Edwards' previous fines this month include $25,000 for profanity on December 9 and $75,000 for criticizing officiating on December 23, bringing his season total to $235,000.
The 23-year-old guard has faced criticism and support from fans, some of whom argue the league's penalties are overly strict and stifle players' emotions.
Despite the fines, Edwards continues to excel on the court, averaging 25.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 4 assists per game for the 16-14 Timberwolves.
