Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards has been slapped with a massive fine after he boasted about the size of his genitals during an exchange with a Lakers fan.

The typically animated shooting guard was recorded jawing with some Lakers fans during Minnesota’s blowout Game 1 victory in LA, and was first heard bragging about the earnings of his teammate Rudy Gobert.

Edwards then grabbed his crotch and yelled: ‘My d***’s bigger than yours.’

That last line ultimately got him in hot water with the NBA, as ESPN’s Shams Charania reported on Tuesday that Edwards had been fined $50,000.

This is not the first time Edwards has gone viral for an inappropriate comment. In 2022, the former University of Georgia star posted a video of shirtless men, whom he referred to as ‘queer-a** n****s.’

He issued an apology soon thereafter.

‘What I said was immature, hurtful, and disrespectful, and I’m incredibly sorry,’ he wrote on X. ‘It’s unacceptable for me or anyone to use that language in such a hurtful way, there’s no excuse for it, at all. I was raised better than that!’

He was later fined $40,000 by the league for that transgression.

Edwards played well in Minnesota’s 117-95 win over the Lakers on Saturday, as he scored 22 points, notched nine assists and grabbed eight rebounds.
