Chet Holmgren takes petty shot at Anthony Edwards after end of series

After that February game, which Minnesota won 116-101, Edwards took a jab at Holmgren while in the locker room. “Shoutout to Chet, welcome home baby,” said Edwards in a video clip that went viral.

But after Wednesday’s victory by the Thunder, which officially eliminated the Timberwolves from the playoffs, Holmgren threw it back in Edwards’ face. Holmgren posted the exact same video of Edwards saying, “Shoutout to Chet, welcome home baby.”

That was pretty petty from the 23-year-old Holmgren, especially nearly four months later. But he earned the right to puff out his chest after averaging 18.0 points per game on 56.7 percent shooting from the field during the series against the Timberwolves (while serving as OKC’s most impactful interior defender as well). Holmgren is also becoming known for his shady social media posts and once even had one about Victor Wembanyama.
