Fans would think that Anthony Edwards uses himself and the Minnesota Timberwolves when he plays NBA 2K25. However, that is not the case.

Edwards took part in an interview as he was at an event promoting Netflix's Starting Five, a show that revolved around NBA stars like Edwards. The interviewer asked the Timberwolves star about NBA 2K25, which he responded with another team that wasn't his own.

“NBA 2K, are you playing strictly as yourself?” the interviewer asked.

“Nah, I ain’t gonna lie. I be using the Celtics,” Edwards answered.
