Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards has been fined $50,000 by the NBA for making offensive comments towards fans after a recent game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The incident occurred on Saturday, and the league announced the fine on Monday.
The NBA stated that Edwards used "offensive and derogatory language" in his remarks. While the specific words were not detailed in the official announcement, reports suggest the comments were directed at Lakers fans as Edwards was leaving the court.

The young star has quickly become a key player for the Timberwolves, but has also had to learn lessons about the responsibilities that come with being a public figure.
