Edwards fined again for criticizing officials

The NBA fined Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards $75,000 on Monday for criticizing the referees of Saturday’s game between Minnesota and the visiting Golden State Warriors.

In a release, the league said Edwards used “inappropriate and profane language” during a postgame media session after the Timberwolves’ 113-103 loss.

It marks the second time in two weeks Edwards’ postgame comments have cost him some cash.

The 23-year-old was fined $25,000 on Dec. 9 for using profane language during an interview after Minnesota won at Golden State 107-90 three days earlier.

A two-time All-Star, Edwards leads the Timberwolves (14-13) with 25.6 points per game this season to go along with 5.4 rebounds and four assists per contest.
