The Minnesota Timberwolves might be about to lose Anthony Edwards at a very bad time.
The All-Star guard was hit with his 16th technical foul of the season on Friday, meaning he is facing a suspension from the T-Wolves' regular season finale on Sunday unless the tech is rescinded with the NBA. His team will be facing the Utah Jazz, with a guaranteed playoff spot potentially on the line.
Edwards picked up the foul from official Ray Acosta after questioning a foul call in the second quarter. The Minnesota broadcast immediately knew the significance.
The NBA has rescinded technical fouls before, but it's rare and typically requires extenuating circumstances, such as when Luka Donu010diu0107 had one such foul wiped out because an official thought the Los Angeles Lakers star was yelling at him, when the words were actually meant for the fan behind him.
