Anthony Edwards has been having a little off-season in the 2024-25 NBA season, as the Minnesota Timberwolves star is not happy with the officials. Even during the team’s 13th loss against the Golden State Warriors, Edwards in a post-game interview expressed his disappointment, which sparked a massive backlash from fans. Despite the rocky moments, Edwards delivered a standout performance in the Timberwolves’ latest game against the Washington Wizards.
After a sloppy first half, the Wolves made a comeback and beat the Wizards, with a final score of 120-106. Their star player, Ant-man, dropped 41 points in his 36 minutes on the court. Out of these 41 points, Edwards scored 20 of them in the last quarter, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to stepping up for his team when it matters most.
Edwards, who has been averaging 25.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game, secured the 22nd win out of the 40 matches they have played so far. The Timberwolves will play the Warriors in their next match. However, while his on-court dominance shines, his ongoing frustrations with officiating have racked up a staggering six-figure total in fines this season.
