The Minnesota Timberwolves season came to an early and disappointing end.
While not many people were convinced about that new-look lineup, the front office did go to great lengths to be one of the top-notch teams in the Association.
So, even though they couldn’t win two games in the first round, former No. 1 pick Anthony Edwards was nothing short of spectacular throughout the series.
However, as good as he was, he finished the season on a very low note, being involved in a post-game incident after the Game 5 loss in Denver.

Edwards sprinted off the court as soon as his three-point attempt didn’t go in, swinging a chair in frustration and reportedly hitting a couple of bystanders with it.
It looks completely unintentional, and fans on social media had plenty to debate about the incident.
Oh cmon he did not do that on purpose!

This isn’t the first time that Edwards has been put in the spotlight for his off-court antics.
Edwards is one of the most talented players in the league, and he was inches away from sending Game 5 to overtime while giving his team another shot to stay alive in the NBA playoffs.
Also, it doesn’t look like he purposely tried to hurt anybody or make a big scene as he sprinted to the locker room.
But he’s been in the league for three years now, so he needs to think through and control his actions with more care.
