Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards was cited for two counts of third-degree assault following a postgame outburst Tuesday following Minnesota’s elimination from the playoffs.
Denver Police Department spokesperson Jay Casillas said Edwards picked up a folding chair and swung it, striking two female employees at the arena. The employees sustained minor injuries, and asked for charges to be pressed against Edwards following the incident.
Edwards’s attorney, Harvey Steinberg, released a statement to Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report on Thursday defending his star client.
