Anthony Edwards are now chasing Steph Curry in Warriors-Temberwolves-Serie-NBC Sports Bay Area & California

Like a wolf that roams the brush, Anthony Edwards follows the established NBA elite. They also catch. Kevin Durant and the suns stormed in the first round of the Playoffs 2024. In the first round of the Playoffs 2025, LeBron James tackled with his Lakers.

And now Edwards is the last member of the Royal Trio of the League.

He comes for Stephen Curry and in a broader sense the warriors.

The hunting begins on Tuesday evening when Curry and the Warriors enter the Target Center in downtown Minneapolis to confront Edwards and Timberwolves in the Western Conference.

Although Curry and Edwards are not mutually assigned, it makes their increased status the focus of the series. Whoever best brings your team in position to reach the conference final.

“I saw a bit of her first round,” said Curry. “(Edwards) plays with the greatest self -confidence. We know that they had their course last year and their new look with (Julius) Randle.

“But it is the same ant that tries to make progress and with every opportunity he gets. And it will be a difficult challenge, we know. We have to send it several bodies and find out a game schedule to make it.”

Like Durant and James, Curry is a richly decorated superstar who entered the NBA when Edwards was in primary school and became the three most famous faces in the league. They were where Edwards wants to go, and Edwards’ goal is to go through them.

Warriors trainer Steve Kerr, who trained Edwards in the Gold Medal winning team of Team USA at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, is not surprised that the youngster is aimed at the veterans.

“No, not at all,” said Kerr on Monday. “This is the trust he has. The charisma. I watched him in Paris. He and Kevin would go on every day after training. Lebron and Steph. They have these shooting competitions, and he has in the middle of it and talking about all types of garbage.”

That was the first Olympic Games for Edwards, and the joke was easy, but showed. The past is respectful, but the future comes closer to every minute. James is 40, Curry 37, Durant 36. Edwards in his fifth NBA season is 23 and wants it now. He lets the veterinarians know.

“It is such a large part of who he is, his love for the game, his love of competition,” Kerr recalled. “But it’s all in a really good, spirited way. The garbage conversation never has anything malicious. He loves what he does, he loves to compete and the boys around him also enjoyed it because it is always humorous.”

At that time they were teammates and represented the United States in international competition. You are now opponents and represent your respective NBA teams in the playoffs. Not much humor in this environment.

When shipping the Lakers, Edwards achieved an average of 26.8 points per game at 42 percent, which were shot from the field, including 33.3 percent of Deep. Production was high, but efficiency was lower than in the regular season. Nevertheless, it was enough to help Timberwolves No. 6 to win the series in five games.

“There is a reason why the wolves are where they are now,” said Kerr. “As an organization, they did a great job and put together a really good squad. Chris (Finch) did a fantastic job as a coach.

In his 16th season, the warriors have such a guy in Curry without being in sight. The Warriors with seventh seeds needed seven games to lose the Houston rockets with 2-seeds. Curry had a series that was solid, but not located through its standard: 24.0 points per game, 41.7 percent shoot out of the field. 39.2 percent of beyond the arch.

If Minnesota wins the series, no matter how Edwards plays, it will be a wax change. Today they close yesterday’s book.

If the warriors have the best of the Timberwölfen, it is a triumph for curry, regardless of its statistics. He will be this rare, targeted prey to escape the stalker. He will be able to keep the flag high, which was taken from Durant and James.

After the Timberwolves replaced James and the Lakers last week, Adidas posted a photo of her customer of Edwards with a caption against Nike partner LeBron: “The King Slayer”.

At the end of the Warriors-Temberwolves series, Ant wants another: “The Steph Slayer”.

Let the hunt begin.
