He has to put his money where his mouth is.
The NBA fined Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards $50,000 for his vulgar response to a fan questioning the whereabouts of his four alleged kids.
In a press release on Tuesday, the league said Edwards was fined for “directing inappropriate language and making an obscene gesture toward a fan” during the third quarter of his team’s first playoff game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday.
Page Six has reached out to reps for the Timberwolves and Edwards for comment but did not immediately hear back.
During last weekend’s game, the Olympic gold medalist was caught on video going back and forth with a fan while he was seated at the Lakers’ score table.
“He got 200 million,” Edwards said repeatedly, referring to his teammate Rudy Gobert before he was corrected.
“He got 300 million,” the “Starting 5” star clarified.
The fan, who was not shown on camera, repeatedly shot back: “Where yo kids at?”
Edwards, 23, then grabbed his private area and replied, “My d–k bigger than yours.”
The video clip ended with the NBA star walking back onto the court.
While Edwards has been making waves for dominating on the court, his off-the-court paternity drama has also made headlines.
Last October, Page Six exclusively reported that the shooting guard had filed a petition for paternity and child support against Ayesha Howard.
A few days later, Howard, who also shares son Jason, 9, with rapper Lil Baby, revealed on Instagram that she had quietly welcomed a baby girl named Aubri’ on Oct. 14, 2024 — after the athlete had allegedly urged her to “get da abortion.”
Earlier this month, we reported that Edwards agreed to give Howard, 38, full custody of their daughter.
Edwards has been dating Shannon Jackson since 2020. The pair share daughter Aislynn, who was born in March 2024.
He is allegedly also the father of two other kids: daughter Aris, 1, with Daja Carlyle and son Amir, 1, with Alexandria Desroches.
Edward has not yet publicly acknowledged his children outside of his romance with Jackson.
