    In case someone is unable to read it:

    >[Timberwolves](https://www.espn.co.uk/nba/team/_/name/min/minnesota-timberwolves) star [Anthony Edwards](https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/4594268/anthony-edwards) has been fined $50,000 by the NBA for [swinging a folding chair](https://www.espn.co.uk/nba/story/_/id/36298813/wolves-anthony-edwards-cited-assault-game-5-loss) that struck two bystanders at the conclusion of Minnesota’s season-ending playoff loss to the [Denver Nuggets](https://www.espn.co.uk/nba/team/_/name/den/denver-nuggets) on April 25.
    >
    >The ruling, announced Wednesday, came four months after the incident because of a [criminal investigation](https://www.espn.co.uk/nba/story/_/id/36305145/lawyer-timberwolves-anthony-edwards-says-charges-baseless) for Edwards’ conduct, which was dismissed last month.
    >
    >NBA executive vice president Joe Dumars said in a news release that Edwards was fined for “recklessly swinging a chair in frustration that struck two bystanders.”
    >
    >Edwards missed a game-tying 3-pointer at the end of Minnesota’s Game 5 loss to Denver and ran off the court as the two teams exchanged handshakes. Cameras caught Edwards swinging the chair before heading to the locker room.
    >
    >Edwards, 22, agreed to a rookie max contract extension worth up to $260 million with the Timberwolves in July and is currently with Team USA in preparation for the FIBA World Cup.

    Resolution!
