[Saba Sports News] Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards had a humorous encounter during a recent interview about his favorite Thanksgiving dishes. When asked about his preferred Thanksgiving food, Edwards was perplexed by the mention of “Escargot” by Rudy Gobert. His reaction to the unfamiliar dish has gone viral.
In the interview, Edwards expressed his love for honey-baked ham as his favorite Thanksgiving dish.
“Ant is amazing. The stuff that he does on the floor is ridiculous. That first game against Germany, where he just took over the whole second half, was the greatest performance I’ve ever seen in person. Every day, the way he works, his approach to the game, and the competitor that he is, like the five-on-five runs that we had were always elite. He can do everything. I think Ant is probably the best player in his position. The future of the league, for sure.”
This lighthearted moment occurred after the Timberwolves secured a dominant home win against the Philadelphia 76ers, solidifying their status as contenders in the Western Conference. Edwards contributed significantly to their success, scoring 31 points, grabbing six rebounds, and dishing out six assists in the 99-112 victory. He has been a key player for the Timberwolves this season, averaging 26.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 5.1 assists.

Haliburton praised Edwards for his on-court performances and described him as a versatile two-way shooting guard with the potential to become one of the league’s best.
