The Footprint Center crowd was on the edge of their seats as the Suns vs Timberwolves game intensified with every passing minute. At the heart of the drama were two superstars, Anthony Edwards and Kevin Durant, leading their squads. If you closely observe the game, then you will notice that the duo was engaged in some conversation. But what was it? Edwards was asked to reveal the truth behind it.
After the thrilling 121-113 victory, the question popped up during the locker room interview. Recalling the moment, a smile crossed Edwards’ face. “I can’t say what he said,” the Ant refused to disclose the details of their chat. The reason? “They going to find me,” he said. “He was talking trash to me for sure. I was mad as… yeah, I was pissed off about that.”
However, Edwards didn’t hold back from giving Durant a taste of his own medicine when the ball was in his court, quite literally. “The very next possession we got to stop and KD was in front of me, and I was like, ‘Throw me that,’ like, ’cause he was talking crazy. I wanted to go back at him in transition, but yeah, he wanted that,” the 23-year-old said.
Edwards loves getting involved in trash talk, as it fires him up. And last night, he went toe-to-toe with Durant, not only in verbal jabs but also in putting up points, matching the Suns ace step for step. Both of them had racked up 33 points each, but in the end, it was the Minnesota guard who got the last laugh.
Besides his 5 dazzling assists, Ant also filled up the stat sheet with 7 rebounds, helping extend the T’Wolves’ winning streak to four games. Amid all the celebration, Anthony Edwards made some surprising revelations about Durant’s teammate Devin Booker.
Anthony Edwards sheds light on his relationship with Devin Booker
During the interview, a reporter asked Edwards how he felt going back and forth against Booker. The 2-time All-Star admitted, “It’s fun,” but then he revealed his strained relation with the Suns guard. “Our relationship wasn’t the best before USA.” However, the trip to Paris for the Olympics helped smooth things over.

“At USA, we got to know each other and we both like to do the same stuff, so we got super cool and we was working out together. So, I mean, we got to know each other, so it was like we got cooler. But every time we see each other, we know what it is, like it’s time to go at it,” Edwards added. “But I got respect for him for sure.” All’s well that ends well.
Both Edwards and Booker had an incredible journey at the Olympics, alongside a star-studded lineup that included Kevin Durant, where they all bonded well. Throughout the season, they play for different franchises and rarely get the chance to spend quality time together. So, that phase definitely helped mend many differences and brought them closer. And, of course, the gold medal around their necks made the adventure even sweeter.
