As Minnesota Timberwolves PA announcer Shawn Parker belted out the second-year sensation’s introduction, Anthony Edwards wore a big ol’ smile as he ran out onto the Target Center floor in front of the largest home crowd of his career on opening night.
Throughout the night, I don’t think he took it off, and for good reason, too.
The Wolves took down the Houston Rockets 124-106 behind the energy from a raucous crowd in Downtown Minneapolis that had to wait 336 days to see Edwards, Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell in-person without COVID-induced capacity restrictions.
