The NBA fined Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards US$75,000 (S$101,497) on Dec 23 for criticising the referees of Dec 21's game between Minnesota and the visiting Golden State Warriors.
In a release, the league said Edwards used "inappropriate and profane language" during a postgame media session after the Timberwolves' 113-103 loss.
It marks the second time in two weeks Edwards' postgame comments have cost him some cash.
The 23-year-old was fined US$25,000 on Dec 9 for using profane language during an interview after Minnesota won at Golden State 107-90 three days earlier.
A two-time All-Star, Edwards leads the Timberwolves (14-13) with 25.6 points per game this season to go along with 5.4 rebounds and four assists per contest. REUTERS
