As they have at various moments for him during the season, frustrations boiled over for Anthony Edwards during the Minnesota Timberwolves' 111-102 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night. Edwards, who was assessed two technical fouls during the game and ejected in the third quarter, now faces an automatic one-game suspension, as he now has 16 technical fouls this season—NBA rules state that a player receives a one-game suspension after picking up 16 in a given season.
Edwards's first technical foul came in the first quarter after he traded shoves with Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt, who was also assessed a technical by the officiating crew. Edwards's second of the night came in the third quarter, when he drove to the rim and felt he was fouled by Lakers guard Gabe Vincent, whose foot seemed to make contact with the Timberwolves star's leg, causing him to fall on the drive.
