Edwards Ejected: Timberwolves Lose to Lakers

Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards was ejected in the third quarter of a game against the Los Angeles Lakers after receiving his 16th technical foul of the season, which will result in a mandatory one-game suspension. Edwards' first technical was for a shove with Jarred Vanderbilt, while the second followed an incident where Edwards believed he was fouled by Gabe Vincent but instead was penalized for using profanity towards an official. Despite being a top scorer in the league, Edwards' recurring outbursts have concerned his team, with coach Chris Finch emphasizing the need for better composure. After the ejection, Edwards threw the ball into the stands, potentially leading to additional fines. The Timberwolves, who have struggled recently, were unable to recover in the game, ultimately losing 111-102. Edwards' absence is a significant blow for the team as they prepare for their next game against the Utah Jazz.
