The NBA Summer League serves as a crucial development stage for young players preparing for the 2025–26 season. It allows recent draft picks and rising talents to adjust to their new roles and team systems. It also draws star players to the sidelines, eager to scout their incoming teammates and build early chemistry for the season ahead.

This time around, to support his developing teammates, Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards was in attendance for the recent Denver Nuggets Summer League matchup with his team. On and off the court, Edwards is a menace. He is known for his wild personality and open nature. With Edwards being present in the arena, one knew that something was about to happen because he could not keep quiet.

And that’s exactly what happened. In a hilarious interaction with a young Nuggets fan, Edwards’ response towards him went viral quickly amongst the NBA community. The star guard did not refuse an autograph request from a little Nuggets fan. Just as the fan went to Edwards, another fan yelled that the young boy was a ‘Nuggets fan.’ But what did Edwards say?

It’s all good. I be busting their a**.

Anthony Edwards replied

Edwards is correct, even though many Nuggets supporters would prefer he were just being self-assured. He led the Timberwolves to a 4-0 season series sweep against the Nuggets this past season by averaging 31.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 6.8 assists per contest with 50.5/40.8/75.0 shooting splits in four games.

In the 2024 playoffs, Edwards led the Timberwolves to victory against Denver in the Western Conference Semifinals, defeating the reigning champions in seven games. This was the first of his impressive performances against the Nuggets. He has gotten the better of Nikola Jokic and his Nuggets side in recent years.

Timberwolves’ owner Alex Rodriguez has an exciting take on Anthony Edwards’ future earnings

In this modern era, with the game getting insane exposure lately, teams and players have been earning much more than they did in the past. As each season passes by, the NBA players’ earnings have been blasted through the roof. For example, the OKC Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander put pen to paper for one of the richest contracts in league history, which will make him earn $79 million annually by his fourth year.

At the back of this development, the Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards is expected to exceed SGA’s contract and earn almost one million per game in a few years. He may become the first player in the NBA to do so. This is surely an insane amount of money to be making playing basketball. However, according to the Timberwolves’ owner Alex Rodriguez, this is the start of huge finances that the NBA and its teams bring in.

Well, I think that’s a sign that the game is very healthy. The revenues are growing. Obviously, we signed a new 11-year media deal, which is very healthy.

Alex Rodriguez told ESPN

He’s not incorrect. The value of the NBA’s 11-year media rights agreement with Amazon, ESPN, NBC, and ABC was $76 billion. There is undoubtedly enough money to go around, particularly for a player with Edwards’ level of talent who is vying for the league’s top spot.

Anthony Edwards recently visited the Georgia Tech Women’s Hoops to check up on them

The Georgia Tech Women’s Basketball Team had the opportunity to meet an NBA superstar yesterday. Anthony Edwards spent some quality time alongside the Lady Yellow Jackets following his workout yesterday. The team players clicked pictures with the star and had a great greeting session.

It is important for basketball culture to record events like these. Anthony Edwards’ prominence draws attention to Coach Karen Blair and her program in particular, as well as the development of the women’s game in general.
