NEW YORK — Anthony Edwards has been fined $100,000 by the NBA for using profanity during a live television interview. The league increased the amount after penalizing the Minnesota Timberwolves star for the third time in three weeks. This penalty was for comments Edwards made after the Timberwolves rallied for a 113-112 victory Friday in Houston. The NBA said Sunday in the announcement that it was taking into account "Edwards' history of using profane language during media interviews." He was fined $75,000 on Monday for public criticism of the officiating and using profanity after getting docked $25,000 for his comments in a Dec. 6 win at Golden State.
