Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards was cited for assault after allegedly striking two women with a folding chair after his team was eliminated from the playoffs Tuesday.
The 21-year-old guard, whose stellar series went to waste against the Denver Nuggets, is accused of misdemeanor third-degree assault, according to TMZ. That charge carries an 18-month maximum sentence and $1,000 fine.
“We are aware of the alleged incident regarding Anthony Edwards following Game 5 in Denver and are in the process of gathering more information,” the Timberwolves said in a statement. “We have no further comment at this moment.”
Edwards is an explosive 6′4 scorer drafted with the first pick in the 2020 NBA draft. He was previously a star baller at the amateur level in Atlanta.
“Ant-Man,” as he’s known by basketball fans, scored 158 points in his team’s five game series against Denver, where he was cited.
