Anthony Edwards missed his start on Monday night for a reason you’re about to see on a censored tweet.<\/p>\n

Let’s, let’s pull this up.<\/p>\n

And we see here Anthony Edwards on why he didn’t start the game last night against the Mavs.<\/p>\n

I was taking a .<\/p>\n

All right, so he missed his start because he had not a fart, but instead a fart and couldn’t trust it.<\/p>\n

Are we buying this excuse?<\/p>\n

He, look, a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.<\/p>\n

If he had to go poo-poo, then he has to go poo-poo.<\/p>\n

Look, he’s got a long game ahead of him.<\/p>\n

So l- look, I, I get it, you have to take care of it whenever nature calls.<\/p>\n

Maybe we could’ve come up with a little bit more of a ladylike word to use.<\/p>\n

He could’ve said, “I was powdering my nose.<\/p>\n

I was tending to some business in the restroom.”<\/p>\n

and we all would’ve gotten the point.<\/p>\n

But look, that’s just me.<\/p>\n

I would’ve, I would’ve said powdering my nose, but that again is, is just me.<\/p>\n

But look, a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.<\/p>\n

Eh.<\/p>\n

So what?<\/p>\n

He had to take a poop.<\/p>\n

Yeah.<\/p>\n

Well look, I, I think if, yes, I, as a man that openly says tinkle, and I was wildly surprised to see that Giannis Antetokounmpo and I are basically the same person because he also says tinkle.<\/p>\n

I, I would’ve probably said- I have often said that my tum-tum was bothering me, or like I had some tummy issues.<\/p>\n

I could’ve found some- Mm-hmm other way to say it.<\/p>\n

But at the same time, man’s gotta do what man’s gotta do.<\/p>\n

much better- that he misses the start of the game than he’s up, you know, try- dropping a dunk and instead, drops more than that on the floor.<\/p>\n

We don’t need any of that action.<\/p>\n

So look- Mm-hmm I’m, I’m just glad that it all worked out and he was able to come out and get done what he needed.<\/p>\n

As long as he wasn’t in playing a game on his phone while it was happening.<\/p>\n

That’s the one r- as long as it was a Power Deuce and trying to get right back out.<\/p>\n
