Anthony Edwards won’t miss the Minnesota Timberwolves’ regular season finale due to suspension.
The NBA announced on Saturday that a technical foul called on Edwards during Friday’s 117-91 win over the Brooklyn Nets has been rescinded upon review. That would have been Edwards’ 18th technical foul of the season, which carries a one-game suspension and would have kept him from playing in Sunday’s matchup versus the Utah Jazz.
Any player who has accumulated 16 technical fouls during a season earns a one-game penalty. Every two technicals from that point draws another suspension.
Sunday’s game is an important one for the T-Wolves, who can either earn a playoff berth or have to participate in the play-in tournament to earn the No. 7 or No. 8 seed. Minnesota could also finish as high as fourth in the Western Conference standings, which would mean hosting a first-round playoff series.
