VIDEO: Anthony Edwards Embraces Girlfriend of Timberwolves Owner Alex Rodriguez After Beating Denver Nuggets

The Minnesota Timberwolves defied the odds, overcoming the defending champion Denver Nuggets. Their match-up was a thrilling seven-game series. However, in the thick of the on-court drama, another moment unfolded. A warm embrace and a handshake between a New York Yankees legend’s girlfriend and a rising NBA star.

Alex Rodriguez, a minority owner for the Timberwolves, found himself celebrating alongside his girlfriend Jaclyn Cordeiro as the T-Wolves won their latest series. Clearly, one particular player stood out – Anthony Edwards, the young guard who spearheaded Minnesota’s victory. The image of Rodriguez, Cordeiro, and Edwards in the midst of a warm celebratory embrace is doing the rounds on social media. 

Congratulations Message Flood Social Media After Minnesota Timberwolves’ Win

She was not the only one celebrating for Minnesota. The Timberwolves’ win brought in messages from all over. In fact, NBA legend Earvin Magic Johnson tweeted, “Congratulations to the Minnesota Timberwolves, their superstar Anthony Edwards, and my friend and Timberwolves co-owner Alex Rodriguez for advancing to the Western Conference Finals!”

This celebration comes against the backdrop of a complex ownership situation for the Timberwolves. Rodriguez and his business partner, Marc Lore, are locked in a dispute with the team’s majority owner, Glen Taylor. The disagreement stems from a $1.5 billion deal that granted Rodriguez and Lore a 40% stake in the Timberwolves franchise.  Payment delays have led the situation to arbitration, with Rodriguez and Lore aiming to enforce the original agreement.

Although Rodriguez is caught up in the middle of a disagreement, the support from his family, particularly from his girlfriend has been palpable. While the ownership battle continues off the court, the on-court celebration between Rodriguez, Cordeiro and Edwards signifies a moment of pure joy for not only the Timberwolves, but also for the couple. 

Anthony Edwards’ Impact in the Game 

Edwards’ dominant performance throughout the series, coupled with the team’s hard-fought victory, undoubtedly fueled the celebratory spirit. “There’s more ways to win the basketball game when you’re just not an offensive player,” Edwards mentioned to the media.

Jaclyn’s embrace followed by A-Rod’s customized handshake with ‘Ant’ may symbolize more than just a win. It could represent a hopeful future for the Timberwolves, a future where on-court success and ownership stability go hand-in-hand. Only time will tell if Rodriguez and Edwards will share more celebratory moments together, but for now, their unlikely bond offers a glimpse of a brighter future for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
