On Feb. 28, Anthony Edwards missed a game against the Jazz because he was serving a one-game suspension for reaching the NBA’s technical foul limit of 16, and the Wolves lost that night by one point.

The Wolves had no trouble beating the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night, 117-91, but they likely will have to face the Jazz in a must-win game Sunday to guarantee themselves a playoff spot without Edwards.

Edwards is facing another suspension because he picked up a technical foul with 6 minutes, 29 seconds remaining in the second quarter after he committed a foul against Brooklyn’s Keon Johnson on the left wing. Edwards argued the call with official Ray Acosta and was called for a technical foul. Under league rules, players receive an additional one-game suspension for every second technical they accrue past 16. Edwards had already received another technical March 30 against Detroit. The league could rescind the technical upon review of the incident. Edwards and coach Chris Finch were making their best campaign pitches for the league to do that in their postgame comments Friday.

Edwards admitted to using profanity when asking Acosta about the foul.

“I’m praying they rescind it,” Edwards said. “I don’t feel like it should’ve been a tech, but me and Ray got a good relationship. We talked it out after the fact. But I don’t think I deserved a tech for just that little gesture.”

That’s in the league’s hands now. Crew chief Bill Kennedy, in the pool report, said Edwards (nine points, five assists) was issued the technical for directing profanity at a game official. Edwards had been upset at some calls earlier in the night, and in the first quarter he appeared close to drawing a technical. Finch said he spoke to Edwards then.

“I thought he was clearly fouled on an and-one that they missed in the first minutes of the game,” Finch said. “I thought he had a right to be a little bit upset with that. I talked to him at that point in time, just leave it go, leave it go.”

But he didn’t. In the second quarter, the officials had called some fouls on the Wolves on the perimeter — Nickeil Alexander-Walker picked up three in the second quarter alone — and Edwards got caught in those whistles on the play with Johnson.

Edwards is just as frightening as Luka, if not moreso because hes a good defender.

Edwards is the most talented player in the NBA right now. If those two just focused a little bit on caring about shot selection...

Maybe that will come with age.

Christian Braun led all NBA point guards, shooting guards, and small forwards in field goal percentage this year. 58%.

Next closes was Derrick Jones Jr at 52.7%.

65% on 2FG. Thats bonkers. But he doesn't do alot of what he can't do. He is great in transition ans gets alot of straight line dunks with people worried about Jokic. But cmon shoot more Christian. What a year he's had. Even Ochai did well this year.

It’s crazy how he changed his game from his freshman/sophomore years at KU.

There was a stat out there about his huge discrepancy in field goal percentage depending upon if he made or missed his first shot.

Sounds like he’s gotten over that.

Picked up Braun the first week of the season as I was watching a lot of Nuggets games and saw how effective he was and that FG% of his helped me to the title.

Your negative reinforcement worked

Well it is finally official.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are the best single season team in NBA History.

Warriors go down to Kawhi once again, a beautiful thing

Lakers-TWolves it is

****ing warriors That loss the other night was a killer.

OKC or Houston are gonna end that team

The Warriors are done. That trade was a complete waste.

We love to see it

Yeah, Warriors had to play better and they didn't. Hate to see it as well. They were playing really well down the stretch and a few losses sunk them. They could come back but they need to play better.

The Wolves can win that series. 40/60 really.
