NBA: Edwards fined $100,000 for using profanity after Minnesota Timberwolves vs Houston Rockets match

Anthony Edwards was fined USD 100,000 by the NBA on Sunday for using profanity during a live television interview, with the league increasing the amount after penalising the Minnesota Timberwolves star for the third time in three weeks.

This penalty was for comments Edwards made after the Timberwolves rallied for a 113-112 victory Friday in Houston. The NBA said in the announcement that it was taking into account “Edwards’ history of using profane language during media interviews.”

He was fined USD 75,000 on Monday for public criticism of the officiating and using profanity after getting docked USD 25,000 for his comments in a December 6 win at Golden State.

Edwards was also fined USD 35,000 on November 17 for making an obscene gesture on the court.

Against the Houston Rockets, the shooting guard racked up 24 points which included three assists and five rebounds.
