Why Anthony Edwards won’t let Jaylen Brown date his sister

Anthony Edwards remains the most charismatic and reliable figure in the NBA, never shying away from making bold claims. Recently, the Minnesota Timberwolves star made waves by asserting his defensive dominance, stating he would have no problem guarding Kyrie Irving in a one-on-one scenario.

Despite Irving currently recovering from a torn ACL, Edwards expressed complete confidence in his own abilities to stop one of the greatest ball handlers the game has ever seen.

This fearless attitude has been the driving force behind Minnesota’s success this season, as evidenced by their 118-105 victory over the Mavericks on January 28, 2026.

In that game, Edwards contributed a versatile line of 20 points, six rebounds and six assists, proving he’s much more than just a scorer as the Wolves maintain a 34-22 record.

Aside from his defensive speech, Edwards recently shared a hilarious personal rant involving another NBA star.

When asked about the one player he would never let date his sister, Edwards gave a concrete answer in a video posted by ClutchPoints on X via Celtics on CLNS.

“I’m going with Jailen Brown. I’m going with JB because he’s from the city. He can’t date my sister.”

The comment highlights the fun side of the All-Star quarterback, even though he remains one of the fiercest competitors on the field.

His competitive streak also took a viral turn during his Adidas-hosted AntLand event at NBA All-Star Weekend. While signing autographs, Edwards jokingly told a young fan wearing a Luka Doncic jersey that he really doesn’t “s**t” with the Lakers star.

This comes as both players prepare for Sunday’s All-Star Game, though Edwards is considering resting up due to injury.

Currently, Edwards is averaging a career-high 29.3 points per game, while Doncic leads the league with 32.8 points.

With the Timberwolves and Lakers set for a rematch on March 10, the NBA world is eagerly waiting to see if Edwards can back up his talk against the league’s top talent.

Whether he’s shutting down veterans or trading points with fellow stars, Edwards has cemented himself as the engine of Minnesota’s stingy defense.
