Dennis Schroder Rips NBA For Rescinding Anthony Edwards’ Technical Foul

Dennis Schroder calls out the NBA for a double standard after Anthony Edwards avoided getting suspended after his technical foul was rescinded.

Anthony Edwards won’t be suspended for the Minnesota Timberwolves‘ final regular-season game against the Utah Jazz, as the NBA has rescinded the technical foul he was issued on Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. While the Timberwolves are thrilled by that, Dennis Schroder is not. Schroder took to Instagram to rip the NBA.

“Love to compete against this guy!!! But NBA this is insane!!! If this would be Stew (Isaiah Stewart), me, or Dillon Brooks, we would be suspended!!!”

Dennis Schroder

This was a rather odd statement to make on Schroder’s part. Edwards has already been suspended once this season for accumulation of technical fouls. He earned his 16th technical against the Los Angeles Lakers on Feb. 27 and subsequently missed the next game against the Jazz.

Does the NBA view players differently if they have a history of unsportsmanlike acts like Isaiah Stewart and Dillon Brooks? Sure, but there was no double standard in play here.

Edwards was asked about the technical after the Timberwolves beat the Nets 117-91. If we go by his word, it sure seemed like he did not deserve to get one.

“I tried to play good defense. They called a foul and he gave me a tech,” Edwards said. “I don’t feel like it should’ve been a tech, but me and (referee) Ray (Acosta) 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.”

The NBA agreed. Edwards, who is averaging 27.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.6 blocks per game in 2024-25, will be playing against the Jazz, and the 48-33 Timberwolves need to win that game if they are to have a chance at finishing in the top six in the West.

The Timberwolves would also be praying Edwards doesn’t get a technical in that game, as he would then be suspended for their first game of the postseason.

As for Schroder, well, his Detroit Pistons have secured the sixth seed in the East with a 44-37 record. If you’re wondering why the German felt the need to speak about this decision regarding Edwards, that might be because of what happened when the Pistons faced the Timberwolves on March 30.

A massive brawl broke out during that game, which led to a total of seven ejections. The NBA would later suspend Stewart for two games while Ron Holland II, Marcus Sasser, Naz Reid, and Donte DiVincenzo were handed one-game suspensions.

Schroder, who is averaging 13.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game in 2024-25, could still be a bit upset about the events of that night and what followed.
