The Minnesota Timberwolves will have star Anthony Edwards for their final game of the regular season after all.

The NBA on Saturday rescinded the technical foul Edwards was issued at 6:29 of the second quarter in Minnesota's 117-91 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night. The technical was his NBA-high 18th of the season and would have resulted in an automatic suspension for the Wolves' last game against the Utah Jazz on Sunday.

NBA rules dictate a one-game suspension for any player who reaches 16 technical fouls during the regular season. Each two additional technicals trigger another suspension.

The league has the right to review and rescind a technical foul, which the Wolves were hoping for considering they lost at Utah on Feb. 28, the first time Edwards was suspended.

The Wolves (48-33) need a win in the finale to improve their playoff seeding. They can still finish as high as fourth in the crowd of Western Conference contenders, which would come with home-court advantage for the first round of the playoffs. They also can drop as low as eighth, which would require them to win a play-in game to get a spot in the bracket.

Edwards received the technical Friday for using profanity to complain about a call. He was whistled for a personal foul while closely guarding Brooklyn's Keon Johnson on the wing midway through the second quarter. After spreading his arms out in disbelief with a furrowed glance at official Ray Acosta, Edwards quickly got the technical, too.

Crew chief Bill Kennedy told a pool reporter after the game that the technical was assessed for profanity used toward Acosta, which Edwards confirmed.

"I tried to play good defense. They called a foul," Edwards said, adding he then asked what the foul was while using profanity. "And he gave me a tech. I hope they look at it and rescind it, so I can play in a couple days."

Edwards, separately from the technicals, has been fined six times for a total of $320,000 for various behaviors.

"I'm praying they rescind it," he 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."

The Timberwolves agreed.

"I did not really get a good or clear explanation of why the technical occurred. It didn't seem like there was anything egregious or overly demonstrative," coach Chris Finch said.
