"ATLANTA -- Anthony Edwards left the Minnesota bench and the court during a timeout late in the Timberwolves' 126-102 loss at the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday. The unplanned and unapproved exit of the Minnesota star came during a timeout with 7 minutes, 52 seconds remaining. Edwards apparently disagreed with coach Chris Finch pulling his starters with the Hawks leading 109-80. Edwards tossed his towel and left the bench."
"Edwards did not speak with reporters after the game. Finch told reporters that he should have remained on the bench. "Obviously frustrated with the performance and rightfully so, but he needs to stay out on the floor and root for his team," Finch said. Edwards led the team with 30 points while making 10 of 18 shots, including three 3-pointers, in 33 minutes."
