‘How Do They Do These So Quickly?’ ‘This Will Unleash So Many Conspiracy Theories’ — NBA Fans React to Anthony Edwards’ Perfectly Timed Ad After Injury

An MRI on Tuesday showed knee damage that hadn't appeared on earlier scans. ESPN's Shams Charania reported that "Ant-Man" would undergo an arthroscopic procedure and could miss up to two months. In the latest Adidas ad, Edwards and his right-hand man, Nick Maddox, audition potential replacements who could secretly take his place on the court. The applicants try to show they can act, talk, and play like the Timberwolves shooting guard. The ad plays off the NBA's standard 65-game eligibility threshold for major regular-season awards, including MVP and All-NBA honors.
