Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards expressed his frustrations with his teammates following the team’s 115-104 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Thanksgiving Eve. Edwards was candid in his remarks to teammate Rudy Gobert, highlighting a noticeable lack of support among the players. According to a report from Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic, Edwards stated, "It's like we're not even happy for each other out there," emphasizing his bewilderment at the team's current morale.
The Timberwolves have encountered a challenging start to the season, holding an 8-10 record and currently enduring a four-game losing streak. Over the last nine games, they have managed to secure victory in only two, raising concerns about internal discord despite the presence of a veteran core. Edwards elaborated on the team's outlook, declaring, "We soft as hell as a team ... just a bunch of little kids," which underscores the urgency for improvement in chemistry and performance.
Although it is still early in the 2023-2024 season, the Timberwolves face a significant challenge in transforming their recent struggles into a unified team dynamic. With only 18 games played, there remains time for adjustments and growth. However, rekindling the hopes of a strong playoff run, akin to their recent success in reaching the Western Conference Finals, will require a concerted effort and resilience moving forward.
