Anthony Edwards reflected on the lessons he learned from NBA veterans while representing Team USA at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. “Playing with the U.S. team has taught me to have a routine, especially when it comes to playing on the court,” Edwards said after Sunday’s All-Star game at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, via NBC Bay Area.
The Minnesota Timberwolves guard, who earned MVP honors after Team USA Stars defeated Team USA Stripes 47-21 in the 2026 All-Star Championship, highlighted the influence of players like Steph Curry, Kevin Durant and LeBron James.
“Looking at Steph, [Kevin Durant] And [LeBron James] do the same routine every day – it is normal for someone to be bored with the same thing; wake up and do this every day. But I feel like that made them great. That’s what they definitely taught me,” Edwards said.
Edwards’ comments came after he scored 13 points in the final All-Star mini-tournament game, adding to his six-year career average of 24.5 points per game. He has consistently improved his efficiency, shooting 49.3% from the field and 40.2% from three this season while averaging 29.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game in 46 games.
The 24-year-old’s approach reflects a broader trend among young stars seeking guidance from established players. By embracing structured routines, Edwards hopes to continue improving his performance and leadership with the Timberwolves as they pursue a deep playoff run in the competitive Western Conference, where Minnesota currently sits sixth at 34-22.
