Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards has been awarded a fine of $40,000 (£35,309) by the NBA for his use of derogatory and offensive homophobic language in an Instagram post.
The rising star, drafted first overall in the 2020 NBA Draft, took to social media to post the clip from his car. In the video, Edwards zooms in on a group of shirtless men on the sidewalk.
It is unclear what provoked the video as the player filmed the group of men interacting on the side of the road. Edwards provides commentary over the top, saying: “Look at these q**** a** n****s, man. Look at the world I came to.”
