Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards has been cited for assault according to a report from TMZ Sports. The report says Edwards swung a chair in frustration following the Timberwolves' loss on Tuesday night to Denver, knocking them out of the playoffs.
When Edwards was running off the floor after missing a shot as time expired, he ran quickly off the floor. Video shows Edwards in his way into the locker room when he grabbed a folding chair and swung it around.
He ultimately dropped it before he continued on his way to Minnesota's dressing area.
“We are aware of the alleged incident regarding Anthony Edwards following Game 5 in Denver and are in the process of gathering more information. We have no further comment at this moment,” according to a statement from the Timberwolves.
According to the Denver Police Department, two women who were working the game at Ball Arena claim they were struck by the chair as Edwards spun it in his arms. The police say they suffered injuries during the incident but those injuries were not specified.
According to police documents, Edwards was cited for misdemeanor third-degree assault, knowingly or recklessly causing bodily injury.
There is currently a court date set for June.
