Wolves' Anthony Edwards Fined $100K For Using Profane Language in Postgame Interview

The NBA fined Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards $100,000 for using profane language during a postgame television interview, the league announced in a statement on Sunday.

According to the statement, "the fine amount is based in part on Edwards' history of using profane language during media interviews."

His comments came after the Timberwolves' 113-112 win over the Houston Rockets on Friday.

Edwards' expressive language followed his go-ahead three-pointer that ultimately served as the game-winner for Minnesota on Friday.

"The play was for (Julius Randle) to go 14—big-small pick and roll," he said. "Once he picked it up, who else? I gotta go get it. S--t. Nickeil (Alexander-Walker) found me, he cut me off. I'm like, 's--t, I'm goin' for the win'. Like Gilbert Arenas said, I don't do overtime, so f--k it."

Edwards has now been fined two times within a week. His first fine came on Dec. 23 and was also for comments he made after a game.

Following the Wolves' loss to the Golden State Warriors on Dec. 21, Edwards criticized officials in his postgame media availability.

His comments about the officials earned him a $75,0000 fine "for public criticism of the officiating and using inappropriate and profane language," the league announced on Dec. 23.

Edwards, who had a career season a year ago, is putting up 25.3 points, 5.5 boards and four assists per game amid a mediocre 16-14 start for Minnesota.
