Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards posted a statement on social media Monday addressing an alleged text message exchange in which he appears to be urging a woman to get an abortion.
“I made comments in the heat of a moment that are not me, and that are not aligned with what I believe and who I want to be as a man,” Edwards wrote in the statement. “All women should be supported and empowered to make their own decisions about their bodies and what is best for them,” he continued. “I am handling my personal matters privately and will not be commenting on them any further at this time.”
