The NBA has just published a short press release on X/Twitter: “Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards has been fined $35,000 for making an obscene gesture on the court,” Joe Dumars, executive vice president and head of basketball operations, announced today. . »
The Wolves fullback is therefore sanctioned for an “obscene gesture” that he made in the first quarter of the meeting between the Wolves and the Kings. What happened? By returning the images, Anthony Edwards commits an offensive foul that he has difficulty understanding, then he immediately joins his team's bench.
Except he obviously hears something that bothers him, and he turns around and gives the finger.
We hear the indignant reaction of some fans, while Anthony Edwards calmly continues his way towards his bench. And even though Wolves ultimately left with the victory, he therefore did not avoid the fine.
