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.

Brewers Searching For ‘A Little Spark’ as Dodgers Move One Win From Return to World Series
LOS ANGELES — On Wednesday afternoon, sitting in every Milwaukee player’s locker in the visiting clubhouse at Dodger Stadium was a laminated note from their manager, who attempted to instill confidence in a young group staring at a 2-0 hole in the National League Championship Series. Pat Murphy wanted to deliver a message from the heart, to remind a Brewers team that had the best record in baseball this year of the opportunity still ahead as the series shifted to the reigning champions’ venue. "Greatness isn’t found on the easy path," part of the message from Murphy read. "It’s earned in moments like this. Keep going. You’re not alone. And you’re not done."A day later, they still aren’t done yet. But their road forward is significantly more onerous after their lineup mustered just one run for a third straight game, again unable […]
