Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards called out his teammates after the Timberwolves lost to the Sacramento Kings 115-104 on Thanksgiving Eve.
“It’s like we’re not even happy for each other out there,” Edwards said to Rudy Gobert after the game, according to The Athletic’s Jon Krawczynski. “I’ve never seen nothing like this in my life.”
The Timberwolves have started the season 8-10 and are currently in a four-game losing streak, while having lost seven of their last nine games. The team is clearly facing internal turmoil despite its veteran core and a roster that has been together for more than just this season, which Edwards discussed, per Krawczynski:
We’re just so negative right now. Last couple years, we was like this.. And I just feel like we’ve gradually grown away from each other, which is the craziest thing, because most of us have been together. We’ve got two new players, that’s about it. Everybody else has been together.
With just 18 games under their belt, it’s still early in the season for the Timberwolves. However, it will take more than simply overcoming a few losses for this team to come together as a cohesive unit and rekindle hopes of another Western Conference Finals run like last season.
