[Saba Sports News] Anthony Edwards, often viewed as the face of the Minnesota Timberwolves, hesitates to claim that title.
During the team’s recent media day, he was asked about the leadership role between him and long-standing Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns. Instead of engaging in potential divisiveness, Edwards expressed his belief that such questions aim to create conflict and emphasized that it’s not about who’s the best player or who takes the last shot.
Towns had been considered the franchise player for years, but with Edwards’ emergence, the team’s direction seems to have shifted toward the younger star, especially given Towns’ involvement in trade rumors this offseason. Despite external questions, Edwards and Towns remain aligned.
