It was 2023 when Anthony Edwards may not have known that he was predicting the future.
In an interview during All-Star week last year, the Minnesota Timberwolves star remarked, “They got KD, but we got Jaden McDaniels.”
KD would of course be Kevin Durant, and before you think that’s just Ant hyping up his T-Wolves teammate, maybe Edwards knew that in Game 2 of the Wolves’ playoff series against the Phoenix Suns, McDaniels would explode for 25 points, outplaying Durant (6-of-15 for 18 points).
The clip went viral on Tuesday night, and fans talked about a ton it during the win on X (formerly Twitter):

McDaniels even addressed it after the game:
Was there added pressure when Anthony Edwards said “They got KD, but we got Jaden McDaniels.”
