Anthony Edwards fined $50,000 by NBA for chair-swinging incident after Timberwolves final playoff loss

Anthony Edwards was fined $50,000 by the NBA for a chair-swinging incident after the Timberwolves were eliminated in the NBA playoffs in Denver.

The Wolves' All-Star guard missed a three-pointer that would have tied the game, which the Nuggets won 112-109 to claim the best-of-seven series in five games. As he was leaving the court, Edwards swung a folding chair that hit two workers.

Denver police cited Edwards for third-degree assault, but the case was dismissed in July.

The Nuggets went on to win the NBA title. Edwards, following the season, agreed to a five-year contract extension that could reach $260 million.
