MINNEAPOLIS — As a Timberwolves season-ticket holder, Sabrina Hiller attended a meet-and-greet with the team's players in December. The St. Paul native, like a lot of Wolves fans, gravitated toward Anthony Edwards as a favorite player because of his charisma and star potential on the court.
But as someone who is pansexual, Hiller was disappointed when Edwards released a video on his Instagram account in September that contained homophobic remarks toward a group of men. She saw Edwards' public apology at media day and wanted to share some thoughts with him. She got the chance to take a photo with Jaden McDaniels and Edwards, and the interaction then made her feel "a lot better" about her fandom of the player and the team.
"I said, 'Thank you for your apology, I hope you continue to work on it … continue to prove us right and do right by us,' " Hiller said. "He said, 'Oh, for sure.' It was that interpersonal communication I was able to have with him [that] helped a lot."
