Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards was fined $50,000 Wednesday by the NBA for using profanity during his postgame news conference on Tuesday.
Following Minnesota’s Game 1 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference finals, Edwards expressed frustration over his role in the offense.

“I guess I gotta shoot more. I only took 13 f—ing shots,” Edwards said.
Edwards’ latest fine puts his tally for the 2024-25 season over $420,000, largely due to a pattern of inappropriate language with media and obscene gestures. It’s the second fine the league has levied upon Edwards this postseason.
After Game 2 of Minnesota’s first-round series against the Los Angeles Lakers, Edwards was fined $50,000 for directing profane language and obscene gestures toward a fan. His largest fine of the season was $100,000 due to cursing during an interview.

This season, Edwards, who is known for his candor, has grown more vocal with his thoughts, but the league has remained in lockstep with the three-time All-Star, who has led Minnesota to its second consecutive Western Conference finals.
The 23-year-old star guard is finishing the first season of a five-year, $244 million contract extension that runs through the 2028-29 season. His salary for this season is $42.2 million.
When a player is fined, the NBA puts each dollar for a technical foul, ejection, slur, inappropriate comment to a referee or a suspension toward a charity.
Game 2 between the Timberwolves and Thunder is at 8:30 p.m. (ET) Thursday in Oklahoma City.

White House pauses plans for President Trump’s commission on college sports as Congress leaders discuss legislation
The White House has decided to wait before making an official foray into college sports.Plans for a presidential commission on college sports co-led by former Alabama head coach Nick Saban have been paused, Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger reported Thursday. The move is possibly rooted in the commission's potential impact on current Senate negotiations over legislation in the same sphere.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIt's unclear how long the pause will last, but it will give a group of five senators, including Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and Cory Booker (D-N.J.) more time to reach an agreement on legislation for a sport whose leaders have been begging for federal intervention in recent years.Cruz said earlier this month the talks were a work in progress, via The Athletic:“That is actively moving forward,” Cruz said on May 6. “We are negotiating.
