The Minnesota Timberwolves have recorded their 13th loss of the 2024-25 NBA season, and Anthony Edwards is not happy about this. The Timberwolves recently locked horns with the Golden State Warriors, but despite their hard efforts, the Wolves lost the game with a final score of 113-103. This crushing defeat dropped them to 10th rank in the Western Conference standings, adding to the team’s mounting frustrations.
Following the loss, Edwards voiced his frustrations in a post-game locker room interview, directing sharp criticism at the officials. However, his remarks have sparked a backlash from the fans.
Anthony Edwards calls out refs after a frustrating loss
During his locker room interview, Ant-man said:
F**king terrible. Yeah, all of them. Besides the woman. The other two dudes terrible. All of them, besides the woman, but the other two dudes, terrible. Excuses as reasons they don’t call a foul, the reason they don’t call a foul, the sh*t was terrible. They don’t want to talk back to my coach now, won’t talk back to me. I said one thing to the ref and he gave me a tech. motherf—– told one of my teammates, if I would have said ‘Y’all calling a bad foul’ he wouldn’t have gave me a tech.’ N**gas, they just sensitive and they terrible.
Edwards’ fiery remarks didn’t go unnoticed. As soon as the interview aired, reactions from fans flooded social media, with many expressing disappointment over his choice of words and the way he handled the situation. A Wolves fan calling Edwards immature said, “I’m a wolves fan but this is a bad look…..immature, excuses, randle is a cancer that Ant should not hook on to, and Ant should never be compared to Jordan acting and playing lik this. Get randle and finch out of here. that would be a start.”
Another fan, angered by his remarks, said, “So wait, someone who can’t control his verbiage in front of the media is the new face of the league? Whoever said that needs to STOP IT COMPLETELY! This dude is an embarrassment! Your FACES (magic, Larry, Kareem, Kobe, Shaq, Bron, Steph) had verbal discipline & respect.”
Whereas, one fan, sarcastically recalling how many had compared Edwards to Michael Jordan, said, “Just remember some of you compared this to MJ… I sure remember…”
Furthermore, another added, “lol this ain’t it pure excuses, very embarrassing from ant”
However, one said gave his piece of mind straight and said, “Im starting to hate Edward’s mentality and way of getting wins”

With tensions continuing to rise, Edwards’ outburst may come with consequences beyond just public backlash. His outburst is likely to cost him a massive fine as the Timberwolves star player paid a fine of $40,000 last season also after he called the refs terrible publicly. However, whether the team can recover from this rough patch remains to be seen, but one thing is clear—Edwards’ outspoken nature is starting to draw more attention than his on-court performance.
