The NBA has imposed a $100,000 fine on Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards for using profane language during a postgame television interview. The league's announcement on Sunday highlighted that the fine was influenced by Edwards' prior history of similar behavior during media interactions.

This incident occurred following the Timberwolves' narrow 113-112 victory over the Houston Rockets, where Edwards made a crucial go-ahead three-pointer that clinched the win. In his postgame remarks, he expressed his determination to take the game-winning shot, referencing a play designed for teammate Julius Randle and showcasing his competitive spirit with colorful language.

Edwards' recent fine marks the second time within a week he has faced disciplinary action. Previously, he was fined $75,000 for criticizing officials after a loss to the Golden State Warriors, where he expressed frustration over the officiating during his postgame comments. Despite these controversies, Edwards is having a strong individual season, averaging 25.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, and four assists per game, although the Timberwolves are off to a rocky start with a 16-14 record.
