Anthony Edwards Cheers For Team USA Table Tennis After Friendly Trash Talk

Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards got an early scouting report on Team USA table tennis … pulling up to watch Lily Zhang win her round-of-32 matchup after he challenged the whole squad to a showdown!!

Edwards made the appearance after the hilarious exchange he had with the star table tennis athletes on the River Seine during the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics … when he expressed his interest in testing his talents against them — much to Stephen Curry‘s pleasure.

“They said they can smack you 21 nothing,” Curry said.

Edwards wasn’t having it … as he repeatedly said he didn’t believe it — and at the bare minimum, felt he could score at least one point against them.

While it’s unclear if he still believes he can score a point … the 22-year-old was having a fun time in the stands — getting hyped after Zhang had a crucial moment in the fifth game.

It was a big win for 28-year-old Zhang … as she took down the No. 14-ranked Bruna Takahashi in seven games. While she awaits her next opponent, perhaps she can get some warmup shots in against Edwards!!

In terms of Edwards’ side gig … he’ll take the court next when the Red, White and Blue get another shot at the team that took them to the brink during one of their showcase games — South Sudan.
