[Hine] Anthony Edwards fined $25,000 by the league for “throwing the game ball with force into the spectator stands” at halftime against Portland, the league says.
I saw it, overhand heave after the buzzer. Nailed a guy working for the stadium in the head
It’s me, the ball. I fucking rocked that ol dude
It’s me here, the guy working. I didn’t make it. I was sentenced to purgatory, where I can still use the internet but only Reddit.
My god… that’s worse than hell
Send da video

Love how Gobert gets in his way, so he waits and then yeets it.
That’s clearly after the whistle, frustration.
But the stands threw it back with equal but opposite force. That should cancel out the fine.
Igoudala was fined the same and ejected once.

To be fair he yeeted it.
“Draymond has one T”
Of course he does lmao
Sounds familiar!
T-Mac kicked a ball into the stands(twice), gave him a $10k fine. Man have times changed. Inflation I guess
Who cares, Luca beat cancer!
This is the real headline! #TeamLuca
It was kind of a basketball play though, I assume that’s why the punishment is low
In the sense that he threw a basketball, yes.
Someone’s half year salary gone just like that
I was there, a beat or two after the buzzer he threw the ball down the court fully missing the basket and it hit someone in the head. Didn’t seem intentional that he hit the dude, but I feel like the fact it was a couple seconds after the buzzer made them feel like they had to do something. It was originally being investigated for a hostile action during the game, but nothing came of it during the game
It does not look like a hostile act. It looks like a dude casually throwing a ball across the court.
Yeah I don’t think it was intentional, I mean the dude was right next to the hoop at half. I’m just saying why I think they justified it
He should give the guy he hit $25,000
Should have to pay it to the person he hit.
Sir this is America all money has to go to middlemen first
Rest in peace my granny she got hit by a game ball
This is chump change for him
Well at least it wasn’t a steel chair this time lol
Pat Bev did this shit at end of 2024 season and has been black balled out of the NBA since.
Why is Ant’s punishment so light in comparison?
It was a semi-basketball play.
From close range, Patrick Beverly intentionally threw a basketball at a fan sitting behind the scorer’s table. The ball bounced off her, landing back in P. Bev’s hands. Then P. Bev threw the ball at another woman seated behind the scorer’s table. On national TV, he committed two textbook misdemeanor batteries.
He was lucky that: 1) Cops in the arena were too dumb (or starstruck?) to recognize the battery as a battery 2) The Marion County prosecutor’s office and taxpayers would rather spend limited resources prosecuting domestic violence cases and helping with murder investigations than prosecute a washed NBA player for misdemeanor battery.
___
The fans on the receiving end of Beverly’s basketball attacks filed suit against Beverly, Josh Oppenheimer, and the Bucks. The only defendant to get dismissed was Oppenheimer. The Bucks tried to get dismissed from the case, but they failed. In response, the team demanded a jury trial.
There is no way that they think that a jury trial in Indianapolis would go well for them. And if the Bucks thought they had a compelling legal reason to win the case, they probably would’ve asked for a bench trial. The Bucks are probably trying to make litigation so expensive for the plaintiffs that it’s no longer worth pursuing.*
Because of P. Bev, the Bucks have had to spend a bag on lawyers and could could end up owing each of the plaintiffs a ton of money. So yeah, he deserves being blackballed.
*Most lawyers will refuse to continue pursuing a civil case whose expected recovered damages are less than the cost of attorney fees + court costs. 1) Lawyer need to make a living just like everybody else; 2) It’s arguably unethical for a lawyer to continue civil litigation if, after all the bills are paid, the client will end up owing money after all the bills of litigation are paid.
But pro-bono work is a thing. There could be lawyers lining up to take this case for free. It’s not every day that you get to sue an NBA team over a transgression that was documented via national TV.
Surely he must still be killing it in the Israeli league then if he not playing just because he’s black balled
I’m sure all the Timberwolves fans that hate Jamal Murray will tell me how ant also didn’t mean to throw this object at a bystander as well also
Jamal came within 2” of injuring KAT during the playoffs. This is apples to oranges.
First off, no, second, ant injured a woman with a chair and you don’t see to care about that
This video shows otherwise. It’s clearly under KAT’s foot.
https://youtube.com/shorts/9yNbcklO5vI?si=vpCYJgruuXV4cl7p
Yeah I’d ignore the second half of what I said too lol
What does one have to do with the other? You brought up Jamal Murray’s heat pack. I responded to that. You just keep moving goalposts/using whataboutism.
You ignored my evidence in direct contrast to your post.
As I said a million different other places in this thread the issue is that you still like ant even though he actually injured a woman with a chair and you hate Jamal Murray cuz in a universe we do not exist in he injured Kat lol
Nah we hate him cuz his small willy
Well I actually weirdly know that’s not true
Pull up the stats. I want to see the head to head on this
I saw the pic. Wasn’t impressed
Didn’t ask if you were impressed
I don’t understand what your trying to say? Are you saying Jamal’s incident was accidental? The footage shows it clearly wasn’t and the only accident was that he missed, nearly injuring his own teammates.
Ant’s done this kind of shit before and we know it, feel like you’re trying to rewrite history while arguing with nothing.
He almost injured KAT! It lasted right under his foot as he planted to put up a shot.
Lmaooooo
I’m trying to say I’ve been told by many Timberwolves fans they hate Jamal cuzza the heatpack, but they all still love ant who has now TWICE actually hit people with items
Your reaching if you think this is anything
No I’m not 🙂
Did you watch the video so clearly wasn’t trying to hit him.
What
If Ant got up from the bench to throw a basketball at Jokics feet mid play, I’d say this comparison works.
Ant threw a chair at a woman
Mhhhm ok 👍
This is what getting busted by the wolves for a year straight does to a mf
-Guy who can’t disagree on the merits
Merits - you are intentionally misrepresenting the situation.
You a fool I’m here to let you know I’m laughing at you 🤣
Oh he’s trying again let’s go
What am I misrepresenting lil bro
I know ur not actually that dumb that that’s a real question. You keep replying to everyone else, I don’t care enough to
Lmaooooo he’s not trying anymore 💔
throwing a ball into the stands is just a little different than throwing a heatpack into live play where players came within inches of stepping on it
but i understand that doesn’t matter to you
So you think it’s different than throwing a chair at a woman?
I don’t get how this relevant at all but you commented on every comment, not like people are saying Ant is a perfect dude off the court.
I don’t know how many times I have to say the same thing for you to understand plain English: it is hypocritical for Timberwolves fans to like Anthony Edwards and hate Jamal Murray for throwing a heat pack and hitting no one
This is your first response to me. I’m glad most wolves fans are a lot nicer than you
Are you saying you replied to me without reading anything I said lol
