With only one game remaining for all teams, the ultimate day of the regular season could be pivotal. Especially in the West, where seeds 4 through 10 are yet to be determined. The Warriors and Timberwolves are among the teams hoping to avoid the play-in tournament. Until yesterday, Anthony Edwards was ineligible to suit up for the crucial Jazz encounter because he got penalized with his 18 technical of the season on Friday, leading to an automatic one-game suspension.

Of course, that gave Stephen Curry and Co. an edge in the playoff race as Edwards’ unavailability significantly decreased the Wolves’ chances of winning. But the NBA’s latest verdict has changed everything! Well, Ant-Man received a tech midway through the second quarter of the Nets clash. As he was using his physicality to guard Keon Johnson, the official called a foul on him. Frustrated after the call, Edwards immediately yelled at the ref and seemingly cursed him out, which led to the technical foul. However, the NBA has decided to rescind the call upon review, making the Wolves star eligible to play today.

With Edwards good to go, the Warriors are now under more pressure to beat the Clippers because if they lose and the Wolves win, they will fall down the standings and enter the play-in bracket. While it’s great news for the Minnesota team, not everyone is happy with the league’s decision. Pistons guard and Steph’s former teammate, Dennis Schroder, expressed his frustration with a harsh comment on his Instagram story, “Love to compete against this guy!!! But @NBA this is insane!!! If this would be Stew (Isaiah Stewart), me, or Dillon Brooks, we would be suspended!!!”

Turns out, Schroder believes Edwards is getting special treatment from the league likely because of his superstar status. Of course, his availability is an enormous boost for the Wolves because it increases their chances of beating the Jazz and clinching a playoff spot. And Dennis is not a fan of the league bending its rules for Ant-Man.

NBA showed no mercy to Isaiah Stewart and Dillon Brooks in a similar situation

As Schroder pointed out, the league would likely not have rescinded the suspension had it been for someone else. Earlier this month, Dillon Brooks received his 16 tech of the season. The reason? He kicked Collin Sexton in the groin area during a failed shot attempt. As per the rules, the Rockets star was forced to sit out the following game against the Thunder, serving his one-game suspension. Although the Rockets ended up winning the game anyway, the absence of Brooks could have hurt them.

Similarly, Isaiah Stewart recently got suspended for two games without pay after getting into an on-court altercation with Timberwolves players. Although Stewart was not the one who initiated the brawl, he received the harshest penalty because he escalated it, and also because of his repeated history of unsportsmanlike acts. Four other players—Marcus Sasser, Ron Holland II, Donte DiVincenzo, and Naz Reid were also suspended—for one game.

Maybe it’s their reputation or the severity of their act, but the NBA showed no mercy to Brooks and Stewart. However, they are cutting Edwards major slack in arguably the Wolves’ most crucial game of the regular season. So, Schroder’s frustration seems justified. Do you agree?
