Despite his best efforts, Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards could not lead his team to a series victory over the first-place Denver Nuggets. To make matters even worse for Edwards, he may also be in store for a long legal battle this summer after an incident with a pair of security guards this week.
After watching his team lose Game 5 against the Nuggets, Edwards ran straight to the locker room, where he apparently struck security personnel after swinging a chair in frustration.
“A law enforcement source said Edwards picked up a chair and swung it, striking a security guard…A source confirmed the incident and said both employees were injured and asked to file charges.”

We don’t yet have all the details of this ongoing situation, but it surely isn’t good for Edward. With many questions about his capabilities as a leader for the Timberwolves, a story like this is the last thing he needs as a distraction from a busy summer.
Nevertheless, this is what happens when you lose your cool like that, and Ant has to know better than to put himself in such a situation.
What’s Next For The Timberwolves?
No matter what happens with this pending legal battle, Anthony Edwards is the future of Wolves basketball. He was the only consistent star all season for the team, and his talent at such a young age makes him the perfect player to build around.
This summer, they will have to make some tough choices and do whatever it takes to get the most out of Edwards, even if it means trading other stars to get there.
“I thought I called that sh*t trade last year, you traded all your pieces for Rudy Gobert,” said Gilbert Arenas on the Timberwolves. “It was a bad trade because you had rim drivers, you messed up the game for a player like Anthony [Edwards]. You have someone down there trying to post up and clogging up the lane. When he decides to go, you take away that ability because he can’t dump it off to you. You can’t f***ing hit a basket if you were right there under the basket.”
Only time will tell us how the Wolves respond to this up-and-down season, but it seems obvious that they need to make some kind of move if they want to get better.
For now, though, let’s just hope that Edwards can stay out of trouble and avoid swinging any chairs when he’s upset with the results.
