Anthony Edwards expelled against Lakers, will be suspended for the jazz game

The Guard of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Anthony Edwards, was expelled from the game from Thursday night against the Los Angeles Lakers in Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles after collecting their second technical foul of the game during the third quarter.

Achieving things worse is that the second technical foul was the 16 of the Edwards season, which means that you will receive a suspension of a game and will not be able to play in the game on Friday night against Utah jazz. Edwards was not shy to show his frustration after receiving second technology and expulsion, throwing the ball into the stands when he came out.

Edwards picked up his first technical foul after the first quarter ended when got into a thrust game With the striker of the Lakers Jarred Vanderbilt, his former teammate at the Timberwolves. It was completely avoidable and demonstrated a problem.

Edwards leads the NBA in technical offenses, and now it will cost you, since you will not be able to play against jazz. That does not help the wolves, which are already short hand and were playing without Julius Randle (Groin) and Rudy Gobert (back) on Thursday night. They could be without both players on Thursday night and will surely be without Edwards.

Edwards is the top scorer of Minnesota with 27.5 points per game, which occupies the fifth place in the NBA, and also averages 6.0 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game. He is the best player of the wolves, and the continuous fight to contain his emotions is demonstrating to be expensive. What should have been an easy victory on Friday night against a jazz team in difficulties could now be a battle if the wolves are very short without Edwards, Randle and Gobert. The absence of Edwards was avoidable.

Edwards will really need to see his emotions for the rest of the season. Now that he received his 16th technical foul, for every two additional technicians he receives, Edwards would receive an additional suspension of a game. The Wolves still have 22 remaining regular season games after Thursday night against the Lakers.

The Wolves-Lakers game was still in progress at the time of publication.
