DRAPED IN A towel, Anthony Edwards burst into the Target Center home locker room befuddled.
The Minnesota Timberwolves had just rallied from a double-digit fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Denver Nuggets. Still, Edwards, too confused to celebrate, knew something was amiss after their Nov. 1 win. The All-Star playfully pinpointed Minnesota assistant coach Micah Nori, a former Denver staffer who worked closely with Nikola Jokic during the Nuggets superstar's first three NBA seasons.
"I'm sorry, y'all," Edwards said, apologizing to reporters for interrupting the scrum around Rudy Gobert's locker.
