Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards apparently doesn’t care much about Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic . During his AntLand event hosted by Adidas at the NBA All-Star Weekend, Edwards made a comment about Doncic while signing autographs for young fans.
One young fan repping a Luka Doncic jersey asked Anthony Edwards to sign it. However, the 24-year-old star made it clear how he feels about Doncic before turning down the young fan’s request. Edwards did say it with a smile, though, as he continued signing basketballs and other objects.
“I don’t really f*** with Luka [Doncic],” said Edwards.
Both players were named All-Stars this year. However, Edwards is considering not playing due to an injury , as he could opt to rest instead in preparation for the back half of the regular season. Meanwhile, Doncic is expected to play in the All-Star Game.
The Timberwolves and Lakers have played against each other twice so far this season, with Los Angeles winning both contests. Both teams are scheduled to play for a third time on March 10, giving Anthony Edwards and his teammates an opportunity to avoid the season sweep. Either way, these games are a fun matchup, as Edwards and Doncic are superstar talents in the NBA.
Edwards, who is in his sixth season in the league, was named an All-Star for the fourth straight year. He’s been a monster for the Timberwolves this season, as he’s averaging 29.3 points (career-high), 5.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game while shooting 49.3% from the floor and 40.2% from beyond the three-point line.
Meanwhile, Luka Doncic is leading the way for the Lakers. The 26-year-old guard is balling out this season, averaging 32.8 points (league leader), 7.8 rebounds, and 8.6 assists per contest. He also owns a 47.3% field goal percentage and a 34.5% three-point percentage.
