Anthony Edwards on what he told Jaylen Clark tonight:
“The play he made today … by our bench in the second half was crazy. I told him you look like Pat Bev when he was 26.” – 9:57 PM

Anthony Edwards on his night:
“I wanted to go for like 60. I thought I was on pace after the 1st, but when you sit a little bit you get kind of cold.”
Also said it meant a lot to him to be 3rd in franchise history in points.
“I was super happy when I heard it.” – 9:55 PM

Minnesota beats Utah 128-102. Anthony Edwards had 41 points in 31 minutes. Jazz turn the ball over like crazy (22), also only force 10 from MIN. Sexton led Utah with 22 points, Kessler had 15/19. – 9:14 PM

Anthony Edwards was down for a minute after that last fall/foul. Walking a little gingerly as he attempts his free throws here. – 8:36 PM

Anthony Edwards is 4-for-4 (10 points) to open the evening and the Wolves are up on the Jazz 17-5 in the opening minutes.
Now for what we all came for during this timeout, to find out who’s here for Crunch’s birthday. – 7:16 PM

Bulls lose, but they continue to improve in the physicality department the last month, and both Nikola Vucevic and Coby White are all about keeping that ride going.

Lots of conversation recently about the future faces of the NBA. #Magic’s Paolo Banchero was asked about himself and Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards in that group:
“I think it’s great. Two young talented players trying to lead their teams. I love playing against Ant.”

Anthony Edwards finally missed a free throw where he yelled as the ball was on its way to the basket. No longer 100% in that stat on the season. – 8:12 PM

Magic Johnson: “Anthony Edwards is the most exciting player to watch in the NBA. If you look at him and you look at Ja Morant, they’re probably the two. And then, of course, Kyrie. Those three can just put on a show. You watch them, and you’re like, ‘Whoo!’ But when Anthony Edwards said this summer, ‘Oh, nobody’s ever been as athletic as me in this league. Nobody could jump like me,’ I was like, ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you talking about?’” “Don’t attack all the old-school guys when you haven’t done your homework. First of all—Michael Jordan. Kobe Bryant. Dr. J. Clyde Drexler. David Thompson, even before all of them! They could all fly. So slow down, bro. Slow down. That’s why I had to hit him with the reality check. I said, ‘Look, man, talk to me when you’ve won something.’ You show respect. That’s all—just show respect. I don’t go at nobody. That’s not who I am. But if you attack us, like, ‘Oh, the game wasn’t exciting back then,’ then I gotta come back at you.” -via YouTube / March 17, 2025
