Edwards was handed a $25,000 fine for chucking a ball into the stands on Tuesday.
The NBA fined Anthony Edwards $25,000 on Thursday for chucking a ball into the stands at halftime in the Timberwolves’ win over the Trail Blazers earlier in the week.Immediately after the NBA’s press release came out on Thursday, Adidas, who partners with Edwards, released a fitting advertisement for his Anthony Edwards 2 shoes.
In the ad, an accountant is putting stacks of $100 bills in a bag to save up to pay for Edwards’s fines. Last season, Edwards racked up $420,000 in fines from various incidents, so the accountant says Adidas will keep $430,000 stowed away in a time of need. The Adidas Basketball X, formerly known as Twitter, account quote tweeted the NBA’s statement with the video. The caption cleverly read: “Good thing we saved for times like this…Believe That.”Edwards should easily be able to pay for his own fine, though. He will make around $45 million total this season just from his contract with the Wolves.Madison Williams is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated, where she specializes in tennis but covers a wide range of sports from a national perspective.
