Anthony Edwards calls his struggling Timberwolves `soft' and `just a bunch of little kids'
In his four-plus NBA seasons, Anthony Edwards has never been afraid to speak his mind
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — In his four-plus NBA seasons, Anthony Edwards has never been afraid to speak his mind.
But the Minnesota Timberwolves star was particularly candid in a profanity-laced explanation of his team's recent struggles following a 115-104 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night.
“I think it’s we soft as (heck) as a team, internally,” Edwards said. “Not to the other team, but internally, we soft. We can’t talk to each other. Just a bunch of little kids. Just like we playing with a bunch of little kids. Everybody, the whole team. We just can’t talk to each other. And we’ve got to figure it out, because we can’t go down this road.”
Minnesota reached the 2024 Western Conference finals. But the Timberwolves have lost four in a row and seven of nine after starting 6-3 this season. A lineup that experienced a significant shakeup late in the offseason with the Karl-Anthony Towns trade still looks disjointed at times.
