It takes only a split second to rewrite the narrative of a player’s night on the court. For Anthony Edwards, that moment arrived when the Minnesota Timberwolves’ star guard was fined $35,000 by the NBA following his ejection during a game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The three-time All-Star guard was ejected with 5:21 remaining in the third quarter during the Timberwolves’ 111-102 loss. As emotions boiled over, Edwards delayed his exit from the court and hurled the basketball into the Los Angeles crowd.

The 22-year-old has been fined six times this season alone, accumulating a staggering $320,000. From criticizing officials to on-court outbursts and delayed exits, each incident has only added to the hefty tab. However, the Ant-Man appears unfazed by all this. The Timberwolves star shared an Instagram post, posing alongside a designer Prada bag.

The bag slung across his shoulder might have caught the initial attention. However, there was so much more to the picture. Nestled in his arms was his daughter, Aislynn, making a rare appearance on his social media. The picture struck a chord with fans due to the uncanny resemblance between him and his daughter. Comments like “Your twin for real” flooded the post, with many pointing out how much Aislynn mirrored her father’s features.

While the headlines scream of the monetary setback, the truth lies in how insulated Edwards is by the billion-dollar empire standing firmly behind him.

Edwards’ value stretches far beyond his on-court performance

The Minnesota Timberwolves superstar signed a multiyear extension with Adidas worth around $50 million, as reported by The Athletic. “Anthony represents the next generation of basketball,” said Adidas Global Basketball General Manager Eric Wise during the launch of the AE 1 signature sneaker.

Anthony Edwards’ partnership with Adidas has skyrocketed his off-court value, turning the Minnesota Timberwolves star into one of the brand’s premier ambassadors. The multi-year deal reportedly places Edwards among the highest-paid athletes under Adidas’ basketball division. His magnetic personality and sharp wit have made him a favorite among fans and media alike. Adidas capitalized on this, crafting their entire basketball campaign around him. “His energy, passion, and authenticity align perfectly with what we stand for,” Eric Wise had added in the launch event.

Anthony Edwards has been a dominant offensive force for the Minnesota Timberwolves during the 2024-2025 NBA season. Averaging 27.3 points per game over 58 appearances, he ranks fourth in the league in scoring. He became the first player in Timberwolves history to record at least three consecutive 40-point games, with a 44-point effort against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Fines, technical fouls, and suspensions have always been part of the NBA’s disciplinary fabric. But for superstars like Edwards, the financial repercussions barely scratch the surface. His rise from promising rookie to Adidas’ poster boy mirrors the changing landscape of professional sports—where endorsements often outweigh player salaries.
