The NBA playoffs concluded on June 12 and the Minnesota Timberwolves played their last game on April 25. However, the league office has a great memory and they did not forget about What Anthony Edwards did after Minnesota was eliminated from the first-round of the playoffs by the Denver Nuggets.

As he was leaving the court, Edwards picked up a folder chair and swung it around in frustration. The chair made contact with two bystanders, which led to a criminal investigation. The Timberwolves released a statement back in April stating that they were aware of the “alleged incident” and were in the process of gathering more information on the matter.

Edwards' attorney also commented on the matter in April, stating that his client's exit from the court was “obstructed” by the chair and he set it down three steps later. He was adamant on the fact that Edwards did not swing the chair at anyone, nor make contact with anyone.
