Timberwolves president Tim Connelly voiced his displeasure Monday over anti-LGBTQ+ comments made by star Anthony Edwards on social media over the weekend.
Edwards, 21, drew backlash regarding homophobic remarks he shared in a now-deleted video from his Instagram story that later went viral on Twitter. Edwards is not seen in the NSFW clip but can be heard calling a group of people standing outside “queer” while the camera zooms in on the individuals from the inside of a car. He can also be heard saying, “Look what the world done came to, bruh” before the video ends.
In a statement obtained by ESPN’s Malika Andrews, Connelly expressed the organization’s disappointment in the third-year guard while offering an apology to all those who were offended by Edwards’s comments.
