Anthony Edwards is ready to take on Team USA's table tennis team

When they aren't playing their respective sports, the athletes present at the 2024 Paris Olympics get to mingle with each other. During one of these instances, some of Team USA's athletes ended up playfully challenging each other.

Anthony Edwards was interrupted during an interview when his teammate Steph Curry called his attention to the American table tennis team. They said that they could beat Edwards at ping-pong 21-0. Edwards replied by playfully saying that he could score one point against them.

This led to one member of the table tennis team saying that the only way to find out was through a game. This prompted Edwards to say that he was ready to play them whenever.
