Anthony Edwards was ejected after picking up two technicals on Thursday and now faces an automatic one-game league suspension when Minnesota faces Utah tonight. The Timberwolves star guard has reached the 16-technical threshold, unless the league rescinds one of the two he collected in the loss to the Lakers.

Edwards and Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt were called for double technical fouls when they exchanged shoves at the end of the first quarter. His second technical occurred during the third quarter when he complained about a no-call.

“{Edwards] was issued his second unsportsmanlike technical foul for directing profanity towards a game official,” crew chief James Williams told a pool reporter, per ESPN’s Tim MacMahon.

According to ESPN Research, Edwards is the first player to receive 16 technical fouls before March since DeMarcus Cousins during the 2016/17 seasons.

His coach believes Edwards has to learn to control himself.

“He’s got to be better,” Chris Finch said. “He’s had too many outbursts. I think a lot of them are deserved. They’re going to miss some calls from time to time for sure, so he’s got to be better. We’ve been talking to him about it, so it’s on him.”

Edwards tossed the ball into the stands after his ejection, which will likely lead to another league fine. He has already accrued $285K for five separate infractions this season, The Athletic’s Jon Krawczynski notes.

Edwards will be suspended an additional game for every two technical fouls he receives going forward for the rest of the year. Point guard Mike Conley believes Edwards isn’t the only player on the team guilty of being overly sensitive.

“We’ve got a lot of guys who get emotional when things don’t go the right way, individually. And that can hurt our team as a whole,” he said. “We have to be better. Ant has to be better. He knows that.”
