The NBA has fined Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards $40,000 for his use of “offensive and derogatory language on social media,” president of league operations Byron Spruell announced Tuesday.
The discipline from the NBA comes after Edwards made a series of anti-LGBTQ comments on social media. In a since-deleted video posted on Instagram, the 21-year-old can be heard calling a group of people standing outside “queer” while the camera zooms in on the individuals from the inside of a car. He can also be heard saying, “Look what the world done came to, bruh” before the video ends.
