Anthony Davis reveals that Anthony Edwards hates playing against the Lakers

Last night was a beautiful one for the Los Angeles Lakers family, especially with the historic moment from LeBron James and his son. The most important thing, however, was getting the win in the bag, with All-Star Anthony Davis leading the way.

After the game, Anthony Davis spoke about the contest and the struggles Anthony Edwards faced at the Crypto.com Arena. In his chat with the media, he revealed that Ant Man, despite his confidence, hates playing against the Lakers.

Nah, that’s my guy. I got the and-1 and just competitive nature… Actually goes back to the Olympics we talking about it. He said we’re the team that he hates playing the most because we don’t let him play… That’s my guy. Call each other twin, same name, and stuff like that.

Anthony Davis said

According to the Brow, the Minnesota Timberwolves’ two-time All-Star’s frustration stemmed from the Lakers’ defensive strategies and overall team cohesion. And true to the claim are Edwards’ stats against the Lakers. He averaged significantly lower points, rebounds, and shooting percentages than usual.

Davis had a powerful first game of the season and at one point, it seemed like he was trying to prove a point as to why he has always been overlooked as a DPOY candidate. The Brow ended the game as its best player with a game-high 36 points, 16 rebounds, and four assists.

JJ Redick gets under Anthony Edwards’ skin with savage trash talk

While Anthony Davis spoke about how Anthony Edwards hates playing against the Lakers, rookie coach JJ Redick also brought the heat on Ant Man. Redick was caught on camera as he relentlessly trash-talked the ‘next face of the NBA,’ seemingly to get under his skin.

Redick repeatedly chirped at Edwards and made references to his poor shooting performance. Edwards who was visibly frustrated, responded with some choice words of his own.

In the end, Edwards didn’t exactly have a bad night, ending the game with 27 points, six rebounds, and three assists. The Lakers will hope to build on the win when they take on the Phoenix Suns next while the T-Wolves will need to go back to the drawing board and bounce back against the Sacramento Kings.
