INNEAPOLIS — 30 minutes after the final buzzer sounded after Friday night’s stinker against Philly, there were two people still out on the Target Center hardwood. One was a ball boy fetching rebounds and dishing passes. The other was Anthony Edwards.
After his first career NBA start, Edwards was putting in work. Starting shooting guard Malik Beasley referenced the No. 1 picks’ wonderful work ethic in the presser that night, and while it’s a terribly popular buzz phrase that makes its way through every arena and practice facility across the league, sometimes heard so often it almost becomes second nature to roll your eyes.
