Anthony Edwards excited to play with Steph Curry for Team USA in Olympics

The Timberwolves superstar guard mentioned Steph Curry as one of the players he’s excited to play with in the Olympics with Team USA.

With the Golden State Warriors’ season over after a loss in the play-in tournament, Steph Curry will have a head start on preparing for his debut in the Olympic Games. The Warriors All-Star point guard was one of 12 players to be named to Team USA’s roster for the 2024 Olympics in Paris, France.

Team USA’s roster will be headlined by LeBron James, Kevin Durant and multiple other All-Star caliber players from around the association. One member of Team USA recently mentioned Curry as a player he’s excited to suit up alongside in the Olympics.

Minnesota Timberwolves superstar wing Anthony Edwards referenced Curry, along with Durant and James, as players he’s excited to play with on Team USA.

Via Complex Sports:

It will be super fun, man. I will get to play alongside my favorite player of all time which is Kevin Durant. Also, I get to play alongside LeBron [James], Steph Curry, all the goats, man. It should be fun.

NBA legend Dwayne Wade has high praise for former Georgia Bulldog ‘Ant-man’ Edwards

Anthony Edwards took Georgia basketball by storm when he signed with coach Tom Crean and the Bulldogs as the highest-rated prospect in UGA hoops history.

He went on to win SEC Freshman of the Year and earned All-Freshman team honors in his only year in Athens before becoming the Georgia basketball’s first NBA No. 1 overall pick, cementing his name in UGA athletics history books.

But, of course, ‘Ant’ didn’t stop there. He went to the Minnesota Timberwolves as the No. 1 pick and has proved he belonged there.

So far, the rookie leads all first-year players averaging 14.6 points per game while averaging  3.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists per contest.

‘Ant’ has made such an impact already that NBA legend Dwayne Wade, widely considered one of the best two-guards in NBA history, had strong words for Edwards’ play.

“I definitely think he can be a better player than I was. He has all the tools.” – Dwayne Wade

Anytime a 13-time All Star, who is one of the best players ever at his position, calls you out and praises you for being better than him – things are looking great.

You can catch Edwards and the Timberwolves’ next game versus the Toronto Raptors on Fox Sports and NBA League pass on Friday at 9 p.m. ET.
