After helping the Minnesota Timberwolves end a four-game losing streak with timely shots and defensive stops, Anthony Edwards could have entered the locker room basking in his play. Instead, the 23-year-old Edwards used that moment to define how he would try to elevate his leadership during his fifth NBA season. Edwards’ message following the Wolves’ win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Nov. 29, 2024, resonated so well that at least one notable teammate could quote Edwards verbatim.
