Anthony Edwards Eligible To Play Sunday After NBA Rescinds Technical FoulAnthony Edwards Eligible To Play Sunday After NBA Rescinds Technical Foul
The NBA has rescinded the technical foul that Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards received on Friday night. That means Edwards will be eligible to play in the Wolves final game on Sunday. That has importance, as Minnesota is still fighting for playoff position in the Western Conference.
Edwards had received his 18th technical foul in the Wolves win on Friday. That would have seen him serve a second suspension due to technical fouls. Players are suspended on their 16th technical foul, then ever other technical foul after that.
Then the playoffs start, the technical foul counts from the regular season are cleared. That means Edwards should be fine to play in any upcoming playoff games for Minnesota.
