According to People, Anthony’s girlfriend is a social media influencer, and they went Instagram-official in 2020.
Shannon posted a pic of herself wrapping Anthony in a hug in November 2020, writing, “Together forever any problem you got I got it,” she wrote at the time.
As for the game, the Minnesota Timberwolves needed a 28-9 run to end the third quarter on the road to get back into the game in Game 7 and have a chance to defeat the Nuggets. That run coincided with nine points in the frame from Anthony Edwards.
Minnesota’s star guard scored just four points in the first half. He finished with 16 on 6-of-24 shooting from the field, tied for his worst shooting game of the postseason, but he did just enough to get his team in the win column.
