The fines keep piling up for Timberwolves star guard Anthony Edwards. This one he earned in full, fined $50,000 by the NBA on Monday for “making obscene gestures toward a game official.”

Edwards leads the NBA this season with nine technical fouls and has been fined $285,000 by the League.

Shannon Jr. out

Shannon will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
