Anthony Edwards did not know Team USA plays Greece again within two weeks
Greece is in Team USA’s pool at the World Cup, and the two teams play for real on Aug. 28 in Manila. It would be an uphill battle for the Greeks with Giannis against a deep and cohesive American unit without him, they’ll need to fight just to advance to the second round. “Um, I didn’t even know we played them (again) in 10 days,” Edwards said. “But that’s cool. It should be, it should be a better game.”

Anthony Edwards is playing like the best player in the FIBA World Cup right now. He’s got a game-high 21 points and has been Team USA’s most dominant player through 4 Showcase games. Here, he delivers on another end-of-the-shot-clock possession to keep Greece from rallying late. pic.twitter.com/Xg0Xm19340 – 1:23 PM

The Athletic: “Jump! Ain’t you defensive player of the year?” Anthony Edwards was going at Jaren Jackson Jr. during the #USABMNT practice 😂 🎥 @usabasketball pic.twitter.com/hTKcWerATo -via Twitter @TheAthleticNBA / August 16, 2023
“A lot of us have been friends in the league,” Bridges explained, “I mean, like me and Jaren (Jackson) have been close, being drafted (in the same class). Me and Ant (Anthony Edwards) always talk to each other in games. Me and BI (Ingram), just because of Josh and stuff. So, it’s all falling together, and it’s great.” -via The Athletic / August 14, 2023
