Nikola Jokic spoke about Anthony Edwards before Game 1.
On Saturday evening, the second round of the NBA playoffs will begin when the Denver Nuggets host the Minnesota Timberwolves in Colorado.
Before the game (on Friday), two-time MVP Nikola Jokic met with the media and spoke about All-Star guard Anthony Edwards (h/t Harrison Wind of DNVR Sports).
Jokic: “He’s amazing. He’s really a dangerous player. He’s a really talented player who can do everything, who has everything in his arsenal. And he has the teammates to back it up. He’s actually a really funny guy to be around. Hopefully we’re going to have some fun too.”
Edwards was the first pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, but has garnered the attention of the entire league with how well he played in the first round.
The Timberwolves swept the Phoenix Suns, and Edwards averaged 31.0 points per contest in the four games.
