Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards is always known for being vocal about court issues. While playing against the Los Angeles Lakers, the young Timberwolves guard got into trouble again when LeBron James approached the referee and complained. However, he found fans' support this time, who thought Edwards was right in calling out the referees' biased approach.
Minnesota Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards called out referee's bias with a candid comment
While playing Game 2 of the playoff series against the Los Angeles Lakers, Timberwolves' Edwards was charged with a technical foul. It led to Edwards losing his cool, and he didn't hold back calling out the referee's biased decision. Apparently, he saw the referee taking the call on the Lakers' LeBron James' complaint. An NBA insider took to X to revisit the moment, tweeting:
''that's a tech when i say that s**t!' - ant re: lebron'
It is not the first time Anthony Edwards has gotten into trouble because of being foul-mouthed. The Internet is full of instances where Edwards made uncalled-for comments. Also, he is not new to tech fouls. The Timberwolves guard gave a very safe reaction when asked about his tech foul rate. He said:
'Yeah I won't get no techs. I won't say anything, I'm going to stay super quiet. One hundred percent.'
Edwards' rant has highlighted the referees' tendency to take sides and give tech fouls often, as per the player's team and status.
Fans support Anthony Edwards reacting to referee's decision
Anthony Edwards got the fans on his side this time as they also feel that the referees' decisions sometimes become questionable. They supported Edwards and shared reactions extending their nod to Edwards' observation.
One fan commented, 'ant doesn't have the entire league in his back pocket like some.'
Another fan wrote, 'NBA techs really hit different depending on the jersey—some players get the whistle, others get the warning! The refs' consistency is as unpredictable as Ant's next highlight.'
'And he's right,' said another player supporting Edwards.
'He's not lying tho,' was another response to NBA Insider's tweet.
'He's got a point. Lol,' wrote an amused fan.
Edwards has a high tech foul rate, which sometimes bothers his teammates too. In February 2025, he got the 16th technical foul, which led to his ejection from the game and suspension from the next game.

Former WI skipper Pooran announces retirement from international cricket
In a development that has taken the cricketing world by surprise, star West Indies batter and former white-ball captain Nicholas Pooran announced his retirement from international cricket at the age of 29. The Trinidad-born southpaw, who made his debut in 2016, revealed the news via social media, stating that the decision followed 'much thought and reflection'. Pooran, who recently opted out of the West Indies' T20I series against England, offered no specific reason for his decision but expressed immense gratitude for the opportunity to represent the Caribbean. His departure ends a career that saw him become the most capped West Indies T20I player and their leading run-scorer in the format. A decorated white-ball career Pooran leaves behind a legacy built on explosive batting and consistent performances. He played 106 T20 Internationals, amassing 2,275 runs at a strike rate of 136.39. In the ODI format, he featured in 61 matches, scoring 1,983 runs at a healthy average of 39.66. Cricket West Indies described him as a 'game changer' and 'a world-class player', acknowledging the void his retirement will create in the national setup. Leadership and legacy Pooran also served as the West Indies' white-ball captain and reflected on the privilege of leading his team. In his farewell note, he said wearing the maroon and hearing the national anthem were experiences he would cherish forever. Though he won't play for West Indies again, he insisted his love for Caribbean cricket remains 'unshaken'. Focus shifts to franchise cricket Meanwhile, Pooran will continue to play franchise cricket all around the globe. Following a record-breaking 2024, when he hit 170 sixes in a calendar year, he ended IPL 2025 with 524 runs at a staggering strike rate of 196.25. With stints lined up in Major League Cricket, The Hundred, and the ILT20, the flamboyant batter's journey is far from over — just now beyond the international stage.
