Anthony Edwards has emerged over the last few years as one of the NBA’s biggest stars.

At one point Ja Morant seemed primed to be the league’s next face. But then, due to his multiple legal woes, he began to miss a lot of time.

That in turn led to a hole in terms of the Next Big Star in the NBA – and that is where Edwards stepped up.

Heading into next season, many are curious to see whether Morant will attempt to reclaim his place atop the league’s hierarchy.

This week, Edwards gave his thoughts on Morant and how the two would fare if they played one-on-one.

“Oh yeah, he’ll be back this year,” Edwards said.

“A lot of people, I ain’t going to say they forgot about him, but he went under wraps for a few months, because he hasn’t been playing. But as far as one-on-one, yeah, I can probably cook him.”

Edwards then made it a point to clarify that he definitely had a lot of love for Morant.

“That’s my dog,” Edwards confirmed. “But one-on-one?”

Edwards’ Timberwolves and Morant’s Grizzlies have multiple meetings on the books throughout the 2024-25 NBA season. Whose team will ultimately perform better when everything is said and done? Time will tell.
