Anthony Edwards issues statement after Instagram model's abortion accusations
Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard Anthony Edwards has responded to accusations he pressured an Instagram model to get an abortion. “I made comments in the heat of a moment that are not me, and that are not aligned with what I believe and who I want to be as a man,” he wrote in a statement issued on X, formerly Twitter. “All women should be supported and empowered to make their own decisions about their bodies and what is best for them. I am handling my personal matters privately and will not be commenting on them any further at this time.”

Something to watch:
Paolo Banchero has 31 points through 3 quarters for the Magic
I believe Anthony Edwards’ 38 points earlier this season is the most Boston has given up this year – 4:48 PM

Anthony Edwards had 37 tonight and Karl-Anthony Towns had 40.
Asked Ant what it feels like for him when both of them are going off at the same time:
“I can’t describe it. I don’t know. It’s fun to be out there. It’s fun to see KAT. I mean, he scores the ball so easy. Not even… – 12:14 AM

Rick Carlisle with a successful challenge. It’s not often worth doing before the 4th quarter and considering it would’ve only been Bruce Brown’s second foul.
But Brown was adamant that he didn’t touch Anthony Edwards, that it was all ball. And he was correct.
Wolves up 9. – 9:37 PM

It was the Anthony Edwards show in the 2Q — four 3s and 18pts to give Wolves a 57-55 lead. Towns has 20pts.
Pacers 12-0 adv. in fast break points despite no Haliburton or Nembhard. All in all, good half for IND.
Also, good game for fans wanting to see Jarace Walker. 12 1H mins. – 9:09 PM

His comments come not long after Instagram model Paige Jordae leaked an alleged text message exchange in which he asked her to get an abortion after she shared a picture of a positive pregnancy test. “Hell nawl can’t do dis,” Edwards allegedly wrote in the texts. “So now what… What a great response,” she replied, to which he wrote, “Get a abortion lol.” The exchange between the two happened in November and December. -via complex.com / December 18, 2023

Dane Moore: Karl-Anthony Towns on how he and Anthony Edwards support each other: “I just want to see him reach his potential. And my job being here so long and kind of being the vet now is to try to do whatever I can to help him reach his potential. And that’s what I’ve got to do. So I support him fully… “We’re all we’ve got at the end of the day. I can tell you that from first hand experience being here. I just appreciate when you’ve got someone like that who’s on your side and the teammates all back you up. Especially with what I’ve been through, it means a lot.” -via Twitter @DaneMooreNBA / December 17, 2023
