There’s a serene ambiance flowing throughout the third floor of the Mayo Clinic Square in downtown Minneapolis, home to the Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx’s state-of-the-art practice facility. The Wolves’ HQ is quiet and empty on this Monday afternoon in late June, with front office personnel out of town in Chicago for the NBA draft combine while most of the players have already returned home for the summer. Yet, here is Anthony Edwards in the flesh, in town over a month after his season ended. We initially figured this cover shoot would end up happening in his native city of Atlanta or maybe even L.A.—a popular offseason destination for many NBA stars. Yet Edwards is indeed in the Twin Cities as the Conference Finals get underway in late June. His commitment to the franchise, the city, his craft and the future all evident in his presence.
