This Los Angeles Lakers player had a message for Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards

The Minnesota Timberwolves ousted the Denver Nuggets on Sunday night, winning Game 7 to move on to the Western Conference Finals. This victory extended Minnesota’s remarkable postseason run, which now features a sweep of the Phoenix Suns and a hard-fought seven-game triumph over a Nuggets team considered by many to be unbeatable.

Although star guard Anthony Edwards didn’t have his best shooting night, he made crucial plays in the final moments, especially on defense, that helped clinch the win for Minnesota. Edwards’ perseverance throughout the game allowed him to step up when it counted the most, showcasing an impressive effort.

Following the game, Edwards shared a post on social media that included the caption, “8 more.”

Anthony Edwards is keeping track of the remaining wins Minnesota needs to achieve their goal of securing an NBA championship, referencing the eight victories required to reach that milestone.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt responded to Edwards’ post, sharing a message with his former teammate:

Vanderbilt played for the Timberwolves from 2020 to 2022, appearing in 140 games for Minnesota across those three seasons. Teammates with Edwards for a lot of that stretch, Vanderbilt spent a good amount of time with the young Timberwolves star, and clearly still has a connection with him.
