Minnesota Timberwolves' rising star, Anthony Edwards, faces a hefty $40,000 fine from the NBA following his outspoken criticism of the officiating in their recent victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Edwards, who led the T-Wolves with 27 points, expressed his displeasure with the referees, claiming they turned the game into an uneven matchup, stating, "We was playing 8-on-5."
Despite a productive night, Edwards was irked by the lack of free throws awarded to him and insisted the game was unfairly officiated from the start.
Despite accepting the fine, he emphasized the importance of earning referees' respect over time.
