Anthony Edwards returned from the All-Star break with one goal—grab a win. The short rest was much needed after missing the All-Star Weekend due to groin soreness. Although fans were disappointed, he had to prioritize health. After all, you don’t want the league’s next face risking a serious injury, right? But, there’s more to the story. The Minnesota Timberwolves star has hinted at deeper issues, leaving fans with more to worry about.

A win against the Houston Rockets at Toyota Center on Friday seemed like a distant dream. Despite Edwards’ 37-point game, the Wolves couldn’t surpass the 4th seed of the West. Thus, speaking to the media after the game in the locker room, Antman had to explain the loss. For the 23-year-old in particular, the fourth quarter became difficult. But why?

“How did you feel?” a reporter asked Anthony Edwards in the Wolves locker room. The superstar guard responded: “I felt great. I think I was a little fatigued today. You know the first game after the break. I got a little fatigued in the fourth. But yeah, I got great looks. If I get those looks every time in the fourth. I feel like we going to win.”

Should the Minnesota Timberwolves worry about this fatigue? Of course. The team must now observe Edwards further to see what’s causing this health concern. This could also be a result of his groin issue, you never know. Well, we’ll leave the medical experts to look into it.

Meanwhile, something interesting unfolded in Houston on Friday. Anthony Edwards surely loves some drama and back-and-forth on the court. But what if the audience jumps in? Moreover, Edwards’ approach to the moment and everything revolving around it could again throw him before a penalty. What?

Anthony Edwards clarifies referee involvement amidst heated fan moment on game night

As the Wolves headed to the tunnel at halftime, Anthony Edwards suddenly turned back, chirping at someone—likely a courtside fan. Things heated up fast. Ant-Man, fists clenched, looked ready to fight. The Wolves staff had to hold him back while a Houston Police official stepped in to prevent chaos. Meanwhile, the media wanted to know more about the incident. So, they asked Ant: “You had a little in with a fan. Somebody say anything inappropriate to you or is it just…”

The 23-year-old star replied: “Nah! It was just some trash talking that’s all. I embrace that. That’s why I told the ref be was like imma report it. I’m like nah don’t report it okay. Let us keep talking okay, cuz that’s going to keep me in it for sure.” It surely looks like Anthony Edwards enjoys when he’s being teased by the rival crowd. That keeps him going in the game and adds to his feisty self.

However, this incident could throw Antman before another penalty. He has already paid $285,000 for his controversial antics, including using obscene gestures and publicly cursing out the officials. And Friday’s altercation with the fan could hurt his pockets yet again.

Thus, Anthony Edwards’ return after the All-Star break raised concerns. Despite scoring 37 points, the Wolves lost, and his fourth-quarter fatigue hinted at deeper issues. Adding to the drama, a heated exchange with a fan could lead to more trouble. With health worries and potential fines, the Wolves have reasons to be on edge.
