Beverley and Edwards were teammates for one season on the Timberwolves (2021-22).

That season, the team reached the NBA playoffs as the seventh seed in the Western Conference (and lost to the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round in six games).

This past year, Beverley was with the Milwaukee Bucks, who lost to the Indiana Pacers in the first round (in six games).
