NBA Fines Anthony Edwards $75K for Referee Criticism
The Timberwolves star's comments after a loss to the Warriors mark his second fine for officiating remarks this month.
- Anthony Edwards was fined $75,000 by the NBA for publicly criticizing officiating and using profane language after Minnesota's 113-103 loss to Golden State on Saturday.
- This is Edwards' second fine in December, following a $25,000 penalty earlier in the month for similar remarks after a win against the Warriors.
- The 23-year-old, a two-time All-Star, leads the Timberwolves this season with averages of 25.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game.
- Edwards expressed frustration over officiating, claiming he and teammate Julius Randle are penalized for physicality and that he receives fewer foul calls compared to previous seasons.
- The Timberwolves, currently 10th in the Western Conference at 14-13, have struggled with consistency following last season's playoff success.
