Anthony Edwards fined $50,000 by NBA for profanity in postgame interview

The NBA announced Wednesday evening that it has fined Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards $50,000 for using profane language in a media interview.

Edwards dropped the profanity Tuesday in his postgame news conference following the Timberwolves’ 114-88 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals.

Edwards, an All-Star each of the past two seasons, was held to just 18 points – 5 in the second half – and made just 13 shots in the Game 1 loss. His comments aired live on ESPN.

This is not the first time Edwards has been fined by the league this season. He has been fined for various other infractions, including inappropriate gestures toward officials and fans. He also led the NBA in technical fouls (18) this season.

The Timberwolves and Thunder meet for Game 2 on Thursday night in Oklahoma City.
