ISTANBUL (AA) — The NBA fined Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards $35,000 for not promptly exiting the court after being ejected from a recent game and for throwing the ball into the stands.

Edwards "has been fined $35,000 for failing to leave the court in a timely manner following his ejection and throwing the game ball into the spectator stands, it was announced today by Joe Dumars, Executive Vice President, Head of Basketball Operations," the league said in a statement.

The incident took place Thursday after Edwards received his second technical foul during the Timberwolves' 111-102 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers at Crypto.com Arena.

Edwards, a three-time All-Star who is just 23 years old, has averaged 27.3 points, six rebounds, and 4.6 assists in 58 games this season.
