RandBall: A humorous Anthony Edwards moment and a more serious Wolves problem
Anthony Edwards didn’t know the identity of Lakers player Jake LaRavia. The Wolves might not know their own identity.
With the Los Angeles Lakers ahead 105-89 in the fourth quarter at Target Center on Wednesday night, a Timberwolves fan shouted loudly in a mostly silent arena, “Who is No. 12?”
Injured Wolves star Anthony Edwards, sitting on the bench, replied: “That’s what I’m saying! I don’t know.”
It was Jake LaRavia, who was torching the Wolves on 10-for-11 shooting on the way to 27 points.
It was a humorous exchange, to be sure, but it also underscored a serious problem for the Wolves.

Even though the Timberwolves star was sidelined with a hamstring strain for Wednesday's meeting between the two Western Conference teams, he managed to make an impact from the bench.
The Lakers also had marquee players in street clothes, with LeBron James, Luka Dončić, Marcus Smart and Gabe Vincent inactive. As a result, the team rolled out a less familiar starting five — including forward Jake LaRavia in his second straight start.

Lou Williams on Anthony Edwards mocking the Lakers hero against Minnesota: "He knows his a– this morning"
Recently, when the Los Angeles Lakers secured a hard-fought win against the Minnesota Timberwolves, one player, apart from Austin Reaves, who left the entire Target Center stunned, was Jake LaRavia.
The 6'8" power forward might have never played a meaningful role, even in rotation, in his brief NBA career just yet, but because of the elongated injury list of the Purple and Gold, he finally got an opportunity to feature in the starting lineup. LaRavia made full use of it despite getting heckled by home fans and also Anthony Edwards, who, according to Lou Williams, will now never forget the capabilities of LaRavia.
