Team Stars led by Anthony Edwards, Devin Booker and Tyrese Maxey were able to claim the All-Star Game title on Sunday night, outlasting both Team World and Team Stripes in the tournament-style format.
Edwards ended up winning the MVP after totaling 32 points, nine rebounds and three assists on 13-for-22 shooting from the field across the three short one-quarter-length games they played.
However, attention from many NBA fans, particularly of the Minnesota Timberwolves, was drawn after the game when a camera caught a subtle conversation he was having with Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson.
You can hear Edwards after covering his mouth say to Johnson, “I can’t wait to come home,” before allegedly talking about their addition of Jonathan Kuminga and the wings in Atlanta, which is where he was born and raised and even attended college as he was the No. 1 overall pick out of Georgia back in 2020.

Edwards signed a five-year maximum rookie extension with the Timberwolves back in 2023 that will keep him under contract through the 2028-29 season, but Minnesota fans are still quite concerned about their franchise player’s comments.
“Damn we probably got like 2 more years of Ant in Minnesota… this just made me sad,” a fan said.
Someone else added, “Yo delete this.”
Another person wrote, “I clicked on this fully expecting you to be [expletive]. There’s no way he actually said that.”
“Wolves fans super sick,” one more fan commented.
