Minnesota Timberwolves star guard Anthony Edwards' lawyer called two counts of misdemeanor assault 'baseless' in reference to an incident after a Game 5 loss Tuesday.
told Fox News Digital the following:"It was reported to Denver Police that while Edwards was walking from the court to the locker room at the conclusion of the game, he swung a folding chair and struck two women who were working at the time. Both women were injured, and, at the time, it was reported that the injuries were not serious."
Edwards’ exit from the court came after he took the team’s final 3-pointer at the buzzer, which would have sent theto overtime. But Edwards, who missed all six of his 3-pointers on the night, wasn’t successful, and Minnesota’s season came to an end. It was a frustrating end for the Timberwolves, who went back and forth with the Nuggets all game before the final miss by Edwards.
The 21-year-old earned his first All-Star bid this season, averaging a career-high 24.6 points on 45.9% shooting with 5.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists in the regular season.
