Anthony Edwards’ second-year ascension continued in a big way Saturday as the former No. 1 overall pick erupted for 36 points in the Timberwolves’ Game 1 win over the Grizzlies.
After leading Minnesota to an impressive series-opening victory, Edwards, who has scored a combined 115 points in four career road games in Memphis, revealed a possible reason behind why he continues to show out in games played inside FedEx Forum.
“Because they talk so much trash. Even the kids,” said Edwards on why he enjoys the city, per The Athletic’s Jon Krawczynski. “The kids was the worst ones. Even 8 years old, 10 years old, ‘Anthony go sit down! You suck!’ It’s just fun. Basketball is fun to me. I love it.”
