Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves has been fined $50,000 for using inappropriate language and making an obscene gesture towards a fan during a playoff game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This incident occurred during Game 1 of their first-round series, where the Timberwolves secured a 117-95 victory. Edwards was responding to heckling aimed at teammate Rudy Gobert when he commented on Gobert's financial success, culminating in the lewd gesture. The Timberwolves are set to play Game 2 in Los Angeles, where this incident will likely be a talking point.
