An attorney for Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards says he is innocent of hitting two bystanders with a chair as he stalked off the court after missing a chance to revive his team’s chance of defeating the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday.

He simply picked up the chair and set it down out of his way, the lawyer says. The Denver Police have charged Edwards with two counts of misdemeanor assault because two women say the chair hit them. No one was seriously injured.

 

Griner Won't Go Overseas Again

Basketball star Brittney Griner says she’ll “never go overseas again” to play basketball, except maybe to compete in the Olympics.

That’s no surprise, after Griner spent nearly a year imprisoned in Russia for traces of cannabis oil that were found in her luggage.

Griner held a press conference Thursday just before starting preseason camp with her team, the Phoenix Mercury.
