What did we just witness?! Such end-to-end drama, so many highs and lows- and the Timberwolves came out victorious. The Wild West reigns supreme yet again. Luka Doncic proved why he deserves to be the highest point scorer in the tie, with another 38 points to the tally. But how can you ever count Anthony Edwards out? Despite an injury scare late in the first half, nothing could stop Ant from a 43/9/6 masterclass, with his kid watching on.

Courtside reporters flooded Edwards, looking to find the secret behind the masterclass. His response? The drive fuelled by his daughter watching from the stands. “My baby was able to come see me play, Aislynn with my little girl she was able to come see me play. So I wanted to make the most of it man. I know she not gonna remember it but she gonna look back at it one day and see she was at the game so that was what really drove me today,” said the Ant Man.

These are the small victories Ant can take pride in now. He’s been trained from day one to play with a smile on his face and enjoy the game. But the NBA learned long ago — don’t judge that book by its cover. The Lakers made that mistake tonight, and it cost them dearly in the fourth quarter.

The bigger issue? Lately, Ant’s off-court battles are making more noise than his on-court heroics. And for good reason. Dunking on legends like LeBron James and Kevin Durant seems easy for him — staying out of legal trouble, not so much. Now, another paternity lawsuit has been added to his growing list, this time involving child support.

Anthony Edwards faces fresh lawsuit from ex-girlfriend over “child support obligations”

In September 2024, Edwards filed a paternity petition in Georgia. Howard, however, responded by filing a counter-petition in California, arguing that the case should be heard there instead. She cited California as her state of residency and a more appropriate venue for the proceedings. Her filing seeks to establish paternity and secure child support, with the preference for California likely influenced by both her residency and the state’s potentially more favorable child support laws.

Reportedly, Edwards had blocked her on all modes of communication on news of becoming a father. Not just that, Howard alleges she received no emotional, financial, or other support from Edwards throughout her pregnancy. She even presented the court with screenshots that show Anthony asking her to “get da abortion.”.

But Anthony Edwards himself has refused to comment on the situation. Following the custody agreement, Edwards has formally asked the court to set his child support payments, marking the next phase of the legal battle. Winning in the playoffs against Luka Doncic, and winning in court in a child support case? The Ant-Man can do it all.

His bond with Aislynn seems to have brought out a different side of him. Edwards looks prouder than ever to be a father, which definitely puts a dent in the image Ayesha Howard is trying to paint. Then again, in today’s world, you never really know. What are your thoughts on this situation?
