NBA (DR) / Minnesota Timberwolves (DR)
Both focused on the World Cup at the moment, Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert could well see their paths cross there. In the meantime, the young American talent has split the most frank remarks which directly concern his French counterpart.
Before they were reunited in Minnesota, their relationship didn’t seem set to be the most cordial. Now teammates, Rudy Gobert and Anthony Edwards previously displayed rather icy reports. I have to say that the young winger’s attacks on the star pivot’s defense hadn’t helped. Fortunately, everything ended up calming down once their collaboration was confirmed with the Timberwolves.
Thanks to this meeting, which was not necessarily obvious on paper, the two men got to know each other and managed to forge a bond of friendship. These are also felt when one of them speaks about his congener. Witness Rudy’s recent 3-point exploits and his viral reaction, Edwards commented on them in a brilliant way. This, after having posed a rabbit to him in recent weeks.
Anthony Edwards justifies his missed date with Gobert
Shortly after Wolves’ premature elimination in the last playoffs, Edwards and Gobert quickly focused on the World Cup for which they were selected. Prior to that, however, the 22-year-old winger claimed he would return an all-expenses-paid visit to its interior in France. A promise that he ultimately failed to honor, which led him to justify himself in a recent interview with HoopsHype :

The huge misunderstanding after Wembanyama’s note: “I can’t wait for…
I didn’t have time to go there because when I had to go there to find Rudy, I only had a week and a half ahead of me. After that, I had to come here, to Las Vegas, so I was like, “Too bad, let it go. »
The two partners have therefore not yet had the opportunity to meet again this summer, even if it could only be a matter of days.
Indeed, given the ambitions of their respective selections, Edwards and Gobert are likely to meet during the final stages of the World Cup. In the event of an ideal course of the two teams, they could face each other in possible semi-finals of high flight. A meeting which would take on a very particular challenge, knowing that the United States had been eliminated by France during the last edition.
Anyway, before projecting too much towards this still hypothetical big meeting, one thing remains certain: the two men will both defend the colors of Minnesota well next year. Once back in the ranks of their franchise, they will therefore aim for a common objective, namely the first places in the Western Conference… and why not a first title for each of them!
Eager to join Rudy Gobert in France this summer to perfect their automatisms, Anthony Edwards evokes a concern with the calendar in order to explain the overturning of this project. We will therefore have to wait to see the two stars reunited again!
