Anthony Edwards sent a powerful message to Minnesota Timberwolves fans on the team’s Instagram account, fueling excitement and expectations for the upcoming season. Reflecting on last season’s success, Edwards expressed gratitude for the support from the city and emphasized the team’s hunger for even more.

“I feel like the state of Minnesota has given us so much love and support.”

“We just can’t wait to get back out there and put on for them.”

“We had a good season last year, but Minnesota deserves more. The city and the fans deserve a banner. Last year was like an appetizer.” 

“This year we want the whole meal. We know it won’t be easy and we know it’s gonna take work. But we love the work, and we ready to eat.”

The Minnesota Timberwolves had a remarkable season, finishing third in the Western Conference with a 56-26 record, just one game shy of the top seed. It was the franchise’s best showing in years and only the second time in their history that they reached the Western Conference Finals, with their first appearance dating back to the 2004 playoffs. 

Despite their impressive run, they fell to the Dallas Mavericks in five games. However, their playoff journey was filled with memorable victories, including a sweep of the Phoenix Suns in the first round and a hard-fought seven-game series win over the defending champions, the Denver Nuggets.

Edwards was the clear leader of the Wolves throughout the season, establishing himself as one of the league’s rising superstars. He finished the year with averages of 25.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.1 assists while shooting 46.1% from the field and 35.7% from beyond the arc. His stellar performance earned him his first All-NBA selection, as he was named to the All-NBA Second Team and his second consecutive All-Star selection.

In the playoffs, Edwards elevated his game even further. He averaged 27.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 6.5 assists while shooting an efficient 48.1% from the field and 40.0% from three-point range. His performances were instrumental in leading Minnesota through the postseason and showcased his potential as a franchise cornerstone.

With Edwards at the helm, the Timberwolves are looking to build on last season’s success. His message of hunger and determination resonates with fans who are eager for a deep playoff run and, ultimately, a championship banner. The team will have to navigate a competitive Western Conference, but with Edwards’ leadership and the Wolves’ strong supporting cast, the franchise is poised to take another step forward.

As Anthony Edwards put it, last season was just the appetizer—this year, the Wolves are hungry for the whole meal.
