Edwards' Secret Tips Propel Knicks
18 Jul
Summary
- Anthony Edwards shared insights with Karl-Anthony Towns.
- Towns' Knicks reached the NBA Finals in 2025.
- Edwards helped Towns prepare for Victor Wembanyama.
Former Minnesota Timberwolves teammates Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards maintained their friendship even after being separated in 2024. Both players reached the Conference Finals in 2025, but neither advanced further.
When Towns' New York Knicks subsequently reached the NBA Finals, Edwards, whose team was eliminated by the San Antonio Spurs, provided Towns with crucial advice. Edwards shared that he frequently communicated with Towns before games, offering specific tips on opposing players and Victor Wembanyama's tendencies. He described these insights as a 'cheat code' that ultimately helped Towns succeed, playfully taking credit for the Knicks' success.
Though Edwards did not reach the Finals himself in 2025, he remains invested in his friend's journey. He expressed a willingness to return the favor should the Timberwolves, who acquired LaMelo Ball, achieve a deep playoff run in the future. However, the Timberwolves have never previously reached the NBA Finals as a franchise.
