The incident occurred as Edwards headed toward the Wolves’ locker room after the loss and swung a folding chair, injuring the employees, according to Denver police. The injuries were not serious, Denver police spokesman Jay Casillas told ESPN.
“We are aware of the alleged incident regarding Anthony Edwards following Game 5 in Denver and are in the process of gathering more information,” the Wolves said in a statement released Wednesday night. “We have no further comment at this moment.”
Edwards is scheduled for a June 9 court date in Denver, according to the citation. Third-degree assault is a class one misdemeanor in the state of Colorado and is defined as “knowingly or recklessly” causing bodily injury. If convicted, Edwards faces possible jail time and a fine of up to $1,000.
Denver beat Minnesota 112-109 on Tuesday night to win the first-round NBA playoff series in five games. Edwards missed the tying 3-point attempt at the buzzer. ESPN’s Andrew Lopez contributed to this report.
If intent is a requirement for that charge. DAs like to shine in moments like this. In my opinion shouldn’t have filed it. It may come down to were his actions reckless? Knowingly shows intent, reckless doesn’t.

Try…they tell the clients not to pay a single dime until they win the case. Hiring a lawyer out of pocket is expensive. So most clients find it a good deal…like they have nothing to loose but the devil is in the fine print…nao lawyers huchukua case iko sure bet. Siku ya settlement client anashindwa niaje anapata 60% bana. Most of the big laways own cruise ships and luxury cars. They specialize in lawsuits.
Huko US jamaa hawezi toka scott free. Lazima atoboke kakitu. Intentional or unintentional. Kula ile lawsuit ya McDonald or Starbucks customer alijichoma na hot coffee bahati mbaya…sued McDonalds and won the case…thats why kuja warning labels kwa hizo coffee cups of “beware of hot beverage”.
Msiiito Trump tried settling poosie/mushroom accusation na $$$$$$ off the court , kamalaya stormy brown @Nipe Nikusifu kakaropoka bado . They have no ethics banae
