Timberwolves' Edwards fined again for 'obscene gestures'
Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards was fined $50,000 for making "obscene gestures toward a game official," the NBA said Monday.
It's the fifth time this season the 23-year-old has been fined by the league, which has now docked him $285,000 for the infractions.
In November he was fined $35,000 for flashing a middle finger at a fan in Sacramento. In December he was drew three fines -- of $25,000 for swearing during a media interview, of $75,000 for using profane language and criticizing game officials, and of $100,000 for swearing during a post-game television interview.
In the latest incident, Edwards flashed a middle finger at a game official during an inbounds play in the Timberwolves' loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday.
Edwards, who won Olympic gold with the US basketball team in Paris last year, is averaging 25.4 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game this season.
He signed a five-year, $244.6 million extension to his rookie contract in 2023 that will pay him $42.2 million this season.
