‘Nature Calls’: Anthony Edwards Misses Tipoff, Scores 17 For Minnesota
DALLAS, TX — Anthony Edwards still found a way to make an impact Monday night even after missing the opening tip.
The All-Star guard came off the bench in a 124-94 win over the Dallas Mavericks after a brief delay to start the game, despite initially being listed in the starting lineup.
Mike Conley took his place at tipoff before Edwards checked in just over two minutes later.
After the game, Edwards gave a candid explanation for the late arrival.
“I was taking a [expletive],” he said.
Head coach Chris Finch kept it simple: “Nature calls.”
Edwards finished with 17 points in 23 minutes in his return after missing six games with right knee soreness. He said it was tough watching from the sideline early, but once he got on the floor, he settled in quickly.
He has appeared in 58 games and would need to play in each of Minnesota’s remaining games to qualify for All-NBA consideration.
The Timberwolves also announced Monday that forward Jaden McDaniels is week-to-week after an MRI revealed a knee issue, dealing another injury to the team’s rotation as the regular season winds down.
Two teenagers are recovering from gunshot wounds and a man is in custody after a car was stolen in north Minneapolis early Thursday.
According to Minneapolis police, around 1:15 a.m., officers responded to a report of three people stealing a vehicle on the 3500 block of Colfax Avenue North. Shortly after the car was stolen, 911 callers reported multiple gunshots in the area.
Ten minutes later, two teenagers were dropped off at North Memorial Medical Center in the stolen car, which then left the scene. A 14-year-old and 16-year-old had both been shot, police say.
Twenty minutes later, police in Robbinsdale saw the stolen car driving erratically on Colfax Avenue North. Police pursued the car, which crashed near the 4300 block of Marshall Street Northeast.
The driver was arrested and taken to the hospital to evaluate his injuries related to the crash, Minneapolis police say.
Police are investigating the incident.
Three key leaders in the state’s largest city are making their pitches to keep their jobs — all of them have been part of some major and controversial work over their years of service.
It’s work, they say, isn’t over and want to finish.
Earlier this year, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey renominated the city attorney Kristyn Anderson; community safety commissioner Todd Barnette; and the city’s operations officer (COO) Margaret Anderson Kelliher.
“As a lawyer, as a public sector lawyer, there is no more exciting place to practice law than the City of Minneapolis,” Anderson said. “The issues that we’re involved with, the complexity, legally [and] policy-wise, for a nerd lawyer like me, [this is] the place to be.”
Commissioner Barnette says he’s taken great strides overseeing the five departments in the Office of Community Safety and wants to build on it.
“Residents and visitors here should be proud of all the hard work,” Barnette said.
And for COO Kelliher, she says it’s the resident and visitors that drives her passion for the work, which includes overseeing major projects in the city, like the transformation of George Floyd Square.
The controversial project has cost the city millions in planning and outreach, and while it’s far from over, construction is set to start this summer.
“I think the team has done an amazing job of adapting along the way to a number of things that have come up,” Kelliher said when questioned how she thinks she and her team have handled the project work.
“It’s all about teamwork, and so the teamwork is key in being able to also control for cost that we need to make sure that each department is talking to one another, and that we’re staging things in a way that makes sense,” she added, when asked how she plans to keep the project on track while keeping costs down.
The city council will discuss the three nominations in a committee meeting early next week ahead of their vote on their employment with the city at Thursday’s council meeting.
