Anthony Edwards was ejected Thursday night in L.A. after drawing his 2nd technical foul of the game with 5:21 remaining in the 3rd quarter. Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards will likely be suspended for one game after being tossed out and picking up his 16th technical foul of the season during the third quarter against the LA Lakers on Thursday night.
Edwards also could draw a fine after throwing the ball into the stands after being ejected.
“He’s got to be better. He’s had too many outbursts. I think a lot of them are deserved,” Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said about Edwards after the 111-102 loss to the Lakers. “They’re going to miss some calls from time to time for sure. We’ve been talking to him about it. It’s on him.”
Crew chief James Williams stated in a report that Edwards received his second technical for directing profanity toward an official. Edwards was upset after he felt Lakers guard Gabe Vincent should’ve been called for a blocking foul as Edwards tried to go past him. “It was a block. Just call the block and nothing happens,” Finch said. “After that, I don’t really know what was said and what was not said. Clearly, it was a block right in front of me.”
