Anthony Edwards has experienced a shooting slump recently, largely due to a thumb injury. However, the Minnesota Timberwolves superstar did not let that feeling come in between the celebration against the Detroit Pistons.
Despite a tough first half, in which he only managed three points, Edwards found rhythm in the second half after removing his handcast and clocked 22 points.
As the Wolves defeated the Pistons 123-104, Edwards enjoyed the moment. As cameras capture him, The ANT-MAN trolled Detroit with Malik Beasley’s signature Shimmy celebration.

Following the Pistons game, Anthony Edwards expressed relief about his improved shooting post-injury.
Earlier, his struggles were evident before the game against the Pacers on March 24th. He was battling a right thumb laceration, which resulted in him making only one three-pointer out of 11 attempts in that game.
Fortunately, he rebounded with a better performance against the Suns, hitting four out of 10 threes, and maintained similar shooting splits against the Pistons.
“I took that damn cast off my hand, and the ball started feeling regular again,” Edwards said.
ANTHONY EDWARDS. 🔥🔥

While some, like Lou Williams, argue that Edwards may be attempting too many three-pointers, he’s taking a balanced approach, shooting from beyond the arc and attempting to get closer to the basket.
Edwards is a formidable offensive threat, averaging 27.2 points per game with an impressive actual shooting percentage of 58.9%, qualifying as an efficient scorer.
