The 23-year-old superstar's evolution has included leading the locker room, as he showed in Game 1 against the Lakers.

The NBA has fined Anthony Edwards $50,000 for directing inappropriate language and making an obscene gesture toward a fan during the Minnesota Timberwolves' 117-95 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday.

And while the Lakers’ roster has turned over throughout the season, one thing that hasn’t changed is Los Angeles’ approach to guarding the Timberwolves’ best player. The Lakers consistently switch pick and rolls to take away Edwards’ space on the perimeter and commit heavy gap help to show him a crowd whenever he steps inside the arc.
