Yahoo Sports Insider: Your Inside Scoop on the Latest Sports News

Anthony Edwards had accumulated $235,000 in fines this season for a variety of offenses, including criticizing the referees and using profanity during postgame interviews.

Make that $285,000. That's because the NBA league office has fined Edwards another $50,000 for "making obscene gestures toward a game official." Edwards did this near the end of the Timberwolves' loss to the Grizzlies last weekend.

The league office hopes that the fines will deter undesirable behaviors, but Edwards has been immune to that effort so far. The 23-year-old on a max contract isn't changing who he is for anyone.
