Minnesota Timberwolves 'disappointed' in Anthony Edwards, who apologizes for using anti-gay comments in Instagram video

The Minnesota Timberwolves said in a statement Monday they were "disappointed" in guard Anthony Edwards for anti-gay comments he made in an Instagram video over the weekend.

"We are disappointed in the language and actions Anthony Edwards displayed on social media," the team said in a statement attributed to team president Tim Connelly that was released Monday afternoon. "The Timberwolves are committed to being an inclusive and welcoming organization for all and apologize for the offense this has caused to so many."

Edwards himself apologized for the video Sunday afternoon after it had circulated on social media.
