Minnesota Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards on All-Star snub: 'I ain't trippin'
Minnesota Timberwolves rising superstar Anthony Edwards isn't bothered that he wasn't selected as a reserve for the upcoming NBA All-Star Game.
"I didn't think nothing about it. I'm just happy for the guys that got in," Edwards said Friday morning, ahead of Minnesota's Friday night game against the Orlando Magic.
Edwards said he was most surprised that Kings point guard DeAaron Fox was snubbed, adding that he "knew" he wasn't going to make it because of the slow start he had to the season.
"I'm just never the one that's selected for things like that, I feel like. I gotta go above and beyond. I will next year, though. I ain't trippin," Edwards explained.
"I don't really care. It didn't really bother me," he added.
Anthony Edwards talked at #Timberwolves shoot-around this morning about being snubbed for the NBA All-Star Game.
