Overview
- Anthony Edwards told an audience he regularly FaceTimed former Timberwolves teammate Karl‑Anthony Towns before each NBA Finals game to give tips on how the Knicks could attack the San Antonio Spurs and Victor Wembanyama.
- Edwards described the guidance as “little tips” and a “cheat code” about which Spurs players tend to move certain ways and about Wembanyama’s tendencies.
- Video of Edwards’ remarks was circulated by ESPN reporter Kalan Hooks and has been cited by multiple outlets, making the claim publicly verifiable.
- Towns used his preparation in the Finals and helped the New York Knicks win the five‑game series over the Spurs, and Edwards said Towns FaceTimed him after the title clincher.
- The revelation highlights a rare example of an active star advising an opponent and could affect reputations and rivalries, with no confirmed public responses yet from Towns, Wembanyama, or the Spurs and with observers watching for any league or locker‑room fallout.
