Overview

  • Anthony Edwards' 18th technical foul from Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets has been rescinded by the NBA, reversing his automatic suspension.
  • The Timberwolves need a win in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Utah Jazz to secure a guaranteed playoff spot and avoid the play-in tournament.
  • Rudy Gobert's career-high 35 points and 11 rebounds led Minnesota to a dominant 117-91 victory over the Nets, keeping their playoff hopes alive.
  • Edwards, who has been fined over $320,000 this season for disciplinary actions, expressed relief at the league's decision, maintaining his protest was not egregious.
  • Critics, including Dennis Schroder, have questioned the NBA's consistency in enforcing disciplinary rules, suggesting preferential treatment for Edwards.
