Sat Mar 01 04:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Timberwolves Star Anthony Edwards Suspended One Game for Technical Foul Accumulation

**MINNEAPOLIS, MN – February 28, 2025** – Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards will miss Friday’s game against the Utah Jazz after receiving a one-game suspension from the NBA. The suspension stems from Edwards accumulating his 16th technical foul of the season during Thursday night’s loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Edwards was ejected from the game in the third quarter after receiving a double technical foul following a disputed no-call. His frustration boiled over, leading him to linger on the court and throw the ball into the crowd at Crypto.com Arena. While the NBA has yet to announce any further punishment for the ball toss, the 16th technical foul automatically triggered the one-game suspension per league rules.

The ejection came at a crucial point in the game, with Edwards having already contributed 18 points, six rebounds, and five assists before leaving the court. His absence significantly impacted the Timberwolves, who despite a late rally, ultimately fell to the Lakers 111-102.

This marks the third ejection of Edwards’ career. The 2025 season has seen Edwards carry a heavier workload for Minnesota, setting career highs in points, rebounds, minutes, and effective field goal percentage. His suspension is a significant blow to a team already battling for playoff positioning. The Timberwolves will hope to overcome his absence against the Jazz on Friday.
