Edwards, 23, was perched by the scorer’s table when he exchanged words with Lakers fans in the front row.
He was heard saying “my d*** bigger than yours” while holding his private parts.
ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that the NBA has fined Edwards $50,000 for the act.
Minnesota had the last laugh on the night as they ran out 117-95 winners.
Edwards was also seen taunting Lakers star Luka Doncic after hitting a 3-pointer over him.
The fine for Edwards was announced hours before Game 2 of the Western Conference series.
Los Angeles bounced back in a 94-85 victory to level proceedings at 1-1.
Edwards had 25 points in a losing effort Tuesday.
“The way that they’re guarding us, when I catch the ball, they kind of go zone, and when I try to attack a gap, it’s like three people,” Edwards said.
“I’ve just got to make my decisions a little quicker, and we’ll be all right.”
Doncic led the way for the Lakers with 31 ahead of LeBron James on 21.
“We looked at what we didn’t do so well, which is a lot of things in Game 1,” James said.
“We took it to heart, held each other accountable and had a much better result.”
Game 3 will take place in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Friday night.
And Game 4 is set for Sunday afternoon in the same location.
Los Angeles is the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference while Minnesota is No. 6.
If the series goes all the way to Game 7, it will end on Sunday 4 May.
The NBA Finals will begin on June 5.
James is looking for a fifth NBA title overall and second with the Lakers during his iconic career.
