Things appear to be upbeat and positive in Minnesota ahead of the 2025-26 NBA season after a viral interaction between Anthony Edwards and Joe Ingles. Ingles jokingly mocked Edwards after Sunday's practice, telling reporters how he locked up the Timberwolves superstar. During an interview with reporters, including Zone Coverage's Andrew Dukowitz, on Sunday, Edwards was answering questions when Ingles interrupted him from afar. "Hey, Ant. Tell them who locked you the f**k up today?" Ingles said. Edwards obliged and confirmed that Ingles locked him up once during practice. "Joe got one stop today y'all," Edwards said. Ingles finished the video by flexing in the hallway as Edwards and the reporters laughed. The Timberwolves are ramping up their preparations for the upcoming season. They are set to face the Portland Trail Blazers on the road on Oct. 22 to open the campaign. The Minnesota Timberwolves are coming off their second straight Western Conference finals apperance. However, the Timberwolves failed to get over the hump and lost a key player in the offseason. Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who was the team's best guard off the bench, signed with the Atlanta Hawks. Anthony Edwards is expected to take another leap after having the best year of his career. The Timberwolves brought back Naz Reid and Julius Randle, signing both stars to huge contracts. They also signed Joe Ingles to a one-year, $3.6 million deal to serve as a veteran voice on the bench and in the locker room. With Alexander-Walker out, the Timberwolves are banking on players like Jaylen Clark, Rob Dillingham and Terrence Shannon Jr. to step up and fill the hole he left.

"I think the best tip that he gave me is that most people lean on people in the post with their (butt), and he does it with the top part of his back. So I think I learned that from him."It will be interesting to see if Edwards shows off some of the things he learned from Jordan this upcoming season.
