Miami Heat supporters are excited about the prospect of obtaining Minnesota Timberwolves player Anthony Edwards, thanks in large part to his bond with coach Erik Spoelstra.
Edwards is a member of the stacked Team USA team for the 2024 Paris Olympics, and Spoelstra is an assistant coach. Most of the team arrived in Las Vegas on Friday for a four-day training camp. The Heat coach and Wolves player exchanged smiles, reigniting rumours about Edwards’ potential move to Miami.
Bam Adebayo, a Heat All-Star centre, is also competing in the Olympics as part of the 12-man squad. He is regarded as one of the team’s best defenders, which means he may play a larger part than expected over the summer. While no video of Edwards and Adebayo has surfaced, the Heat big man did welcome former Miami great LeBron James.
Edwards is not only one of the most popular NBA players, but he is also steadily rising through the rankings. He guided the Wolves to the Western Conference Finals, where they were eliminated three games short of reaching the NBA Finals. Last season, Edwards, 22, averaged 25.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.1 assists on 46.1% shooting.
