After LaMelo Ball’s penalty, Timberwolves Anthony Edwards joined Bucks Coach Doc Rivers in the league of punishment

It appears that the NBA has been implementing its no-tolerance policies quite seriously as three prominent figures from the league have been punished for their misdeeds which violated the NBA policies. After a whopping $100,000 penalty to LaMelo Ball for his anti-gay remark, Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards and Milwaukee Bucks’ head Coach Doc Rivers were also at the receiving end of punishment from the league.
Anthony Edwards joins Doc Rivers in facing consequences following LaMelo Ball’s penalty of a whopping $100,000. The 23-year-old Charlotte Hornets star made an anti-gay comment following his team’s 115-114 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. "We loaded up,” he said during his post-match interview. After that, he made his derogatory comment on the gay community mumbling, “No homo.” “That's what we wanted, put a hand up and then live with the results," he added. Soon, his comment went viral and the NBA issued a statement condemning Ball’s comment with a $100k punishment.

Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards was fined $35,000 for making an obscene gesture while on the court. He was directed to the stands after being called for an offensive foul with 3:15 left in the first quarter of Minnesota's 130-126 win over Sacramento on Friday.
And finally, Bucks coach Rivers was fined $25,000 for public criticism of officiating. The incident occurred after a news conference after the loss in Charlotte.
The NBA has collected a whopping $160,000 as fine from the three prominent figures in the league. LaMelo Ball has recently apologized for his “Offensive and derogatory” comment after facing a devastating loss to the Cavaliers who remained undefeated with a stunning 15-0 record. “Before we get started, I just want to address the comment yesterday… I really didn’t mean anything (by it) and don’t want to offend anybody. I’ve got love for everybody, and I don’t discriminate,” Ball said of his comment.
