Anthony Edwards didn't mince his words when he described the Minnesota Timberwolves following their loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday. The Timberwolves are on a two-game losing skid and could be heading to a slump in early January.
In his postgame interview, Edwards was asked about his thoughts on Minnesota's first losing streak of the season. He was straightforward in calling out their recent performances and expects them to bounce back and figure things out:
"We got to figure it out. We s**k right now," Edwards said.
The reporter then followed up by asking if "Ant-Man" knows what's wrong with the team at the moment. Edwards shouldered the blame and said that the coaching staff was not the problem.
