Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards was slapped with a massive fine after praising the size of his genitals during an exchange with a fan of the Lakers.
The typically animated shooting goalkeeper was recorded in the jaw with certain fans of Lakers in the victory of the minnesota match 1 in Los Angeles, and was heard for the first time on the income of his teammate Rudy Gobert.
Edwards then caught his crotch and shouted: “My d *** is bigger than yours”.
The latest line finally brought him into hot water with the NBA, as Charania d’Espn reported on Tuesday that Edwards had been sentenced to a fine of $ 50,000.
This is not the first time that Edwards has become viral for an inappropriate comment. In 2022, the former star of the University of Georgia published a video of shirtless men, which he described as “queer-a ** n **** s”.
He apologized shortly after.

“What I said was immature, injuring and disrespectful, and I am incredibly sorry,” he wrote on X. “He is unacceptable for me or for anyone to use this language in such a wounded way, there is no excuse for that, at all. I was raised better than that!
He was then sentenced to a fine of $ 40,000 by the League for this transgression.
Edwards played well in the minnesota 117-95 victory against the Lakers on Saturday, when he scored 22 points, scored nine assists and took eight rebounds.
The star player of Minnesota was upgraded by Naz Reid (23 points) and Jaden McDaniels while the visitors shared the ball with a large effect.
Edwards and Timberwolves are looking to take another deep playoff race after going to the Western Conference final last season, where they fell to the MAVs.
During the following off-season, Minnesota shook its list with the successful trade in Karl-Anthony Towns in Knicks, in exchange for Donte Divincenzo and Julius Randle.
After a slow start this year, the team has finally won 49 games this season to finish seeded n ° 6 in the West.
