The NBA has fined<\/a> Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards and Orlando Magic guard Desmond Bane $25,000 apiece<\/a> after both players threw balls into the crowd during separate games on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Edwards’ incident happened at the end of the first half of Minnesota’s 124-121 win over the Portland Trail Blazers<\/a>. The four-time NBA All-Star rebounded the final shot of the half, then cocked back and tossed the ball down the court well after the buzzer went off. His throw reportedly hit a fan<\/a> sitting next to a stanchion at the other end of the court.<\/p>\n

At the end of the Magic’s 110-109 win over the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a>, Bane caught the ball following Deandre Ayton’s post-buzzer basket and fired a shot down court.<\/p>\n

Edwards played 38:20 and scored 34 points during the victory. The 24-year-old is averaging 29.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.4 steals in 49 games this season for the 36-23 Timberwolves.<\/p>\n
