The shocking trade between Luka Doncic and Anthony Davis has left not only the fans but also the NBA players thrilled. Following the blockbuster trade, the interest around the Dallas Mavericks vs. Los Angeles Lakers game has shot up the sky. Everybody now wants a piece of the action from the front row. That holds true for Anthony Edwards, too. The Wolves star has demanded that he needs to watch the Doncic vs. Davis matchup from as close as possible.
In a recent video shared on the internet, Edwards stated that he would be attending the next Lakers vs. Mavericks game. That is, of course, if the Minnesota Timberwolves did not have a game on the same day.
“I’m excited to see the first time the Lakers play Dallas in Dallas. I’m super excited to see that, oh my god. If we’re not playing I’m buying front-row tickets to that b—-. For real,” said Edwards.
"I'm super excited to see that. Oh my god. … If we're [the Timberwolves] not playing, I'm buying front row tickets to that b*tch."
