Things are not well in Minnesota as the Timberwolves continue to struggle and now the players are losing it in the locker room. Anthony Edwards, their leader, is the one with the recent tantrum.
After the team’s loss against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday, he was not ready to speak to the media that arrived to interview him, especially after a 115-104 loss. “What you wanna know, why we’re trash?,” he asked the media as they got near him.
The Timberwolves have lost four straight games and they have also dropped seven out of their last nine games. They came back to make it close against the Kings while being down by double digits, but it was not enough.
He was not happy and he showed it
There is no question that Anthony Edwards is the most important player in the team, but right now things are just not clicking. “I don’t like frontrunners,” he said. “Myself, I’m not a front-runner. I hate to have front-runners or to think we have front-runners on the team. I don’t think we have any of those. It look like we was front-runners tonight, 100 percent.”
Despite holding accountability, still there is a long way to go for this team to be better, however he knows there is a lot of time left in the season to get better. He put this game against the Kings as an example.
“We was down, nobody wanted to say nothing. We got up and everybody cheering. … We get down again and don’t nobody say nothing. That’s the definition of a front-runner. We as a team, including myself, we all was front-runners tonight,” he added.
