Overview

  • Anthony Edwards received a $50,000 fine for using profane language during a postgame interview following the Timberwolves' 114-88 Game 1 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
  • This brings Edwards' total fines for the 2024–25 season and playoffs to over $400,000, one of the highest single-season penalty totals in NBA history.
  • Edwards' latest fine stems from his comment, 'I definitely gotta shoot more. I only took 13 f**king shots,' during the interview.
  • The Timberwolves guard has faced repeated disciplinary actions this season, including fines for obscene gestures, profanity, and criticism of officials, as well as a suspension for technical fouls.
