Anthony Edwards Rips Dillon Brooks for 'Dirty S--t' During Wolves Win vs. Rockets

Minnesota Timberwolves superstar Anthony Edwards didn't take kindly to Houston Rockets wing Dillon Brooks on Thursday, providing these remarks to reporters after a 127-114 home (h/t Timberwolves beat writer Travis Singleton).

"I love the competing part, but like all the little slick little dirty s--t, like he hit me in the face, and then I fell and then he like, 'How much crying you gonna do?'

"I'm like, 'Bruh, you hit me in my motherf--king face. What you want me to do?'

"So, you know, I just don't like that part. Like, don't do something and act like you didn't do it, you know what I'm saying? But I love all the competitiveness, like we compete all day, we can talk s--t all day, but when you give it doing that, yeah, it's more than basketball at that point.

Edwards got the best of the matchup in the victory, though, dropping 41 points, seven rebounds and six assists.

Brooks, of course, is known for being one of the NBA's primary antagonists and villains. He's notably poked at Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James in the past and even got ejected from a 2023 playoff game (as a member of the Memphis Grizzlies) when he struck a low blow on him.

So it's not a surprise that he's going after another star in Edwards, who didn't take kindly to Brooks' actions. Things definitely got chippy between the two in this one.

In the end, Edwards emerged the winner.

Fans won't have to wait long to see these two in action again. Houston will host Minnesota in its first game post-All-Star Weekend on Friday, Feb. 21.
