Jan. 31 (UPI) — The NBA fined Minnesota Timberwolves star guard Anthony Edwards $40,000 for “repeatedly publicly criticizing” officials after a recent win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, the league announced Wednesday.
Edwards made the comments during an interview with Bally Sports North after the victory Monday at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City.
Edwards scored 27 points in the win. He immediately called out officials, when a reporter asked about how the Timberwolves won the game.
“I don’t know,” Edwards said. “I’m going to take the fine. The refs did not give us no calls.
“We had to play through every bump and every grab. I don’t know how we won tonight. Big shout out to my team. Big shout out to my coaches.”
Edwards is averaging a career-high 25.9 points, 5.3 assists and 5.2 rebounds per game this season. The Timberwolves (33-14) own the best record in the Western Conference.
They will host the Dallas Mavericks (28-21) at 8 p.m. EST Wednesday in Minneapolis.
