EDWARDS FINED FOR FLIPPING AN OFFICIAL, HIS FIFTH THIS SEASON

Edwards was fined for flipping an official, making it his fifth penalty to be paid this season.

Furthermore, the All-Star guard made an obscene gesture towards the officials during an inbounds play in the third quarter of their 127-125 loss.

Moreover, Edwards lowered his arm as he went for another before teammaye Joe Ingles told him to sit down.

“I made a careless, young, dumb mistake, shooting birds,” the 23-year-old Team USA member to the Paris Olympics said.

“That has nothing to do with the refs at all. That’s all me mentally making a dumb mistake. I won’t do it again,” he added.
