Anthony Edwards Fined $50,000 for Profane Comments Following Game 1 Loss to Thunder
Anthony Edwards has been fined $50,000 for using profanity during his postgame media availability following a loss to the OKC Thunder in Game 1.
The NBA has fined Minnesota Timberwolves star guard Anthony Edwards $50,000 for using profanity during his postgame media availability following the team’s Game 1 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference Semifinals.
The league announced the fine earlier today, citing Edwards’ repeated use of inappropriate language while addressing reporters after the 102–97 defeat. While the NBA allows for passionate expression, league rules prohibit the use of profanity in official media sessions, particularly when it violates the league’s standards of professionalism.
