Wednesday brought a couple of posters in the NBA 2023-24 regular season including Minnesota Timberwolves star guard Anthony Edwards' poster dunk on Utah Jazz center John Collins, which left both athletes injured. However, the Wolves guard's hilarious post-game reaction to his poster slam on Collins has gone viral.
The Minnesota Timberwolves extended their winning streak to three games with a 104-114 victory at the Delta Center against the Utah Jazz. The Wolves are now placed second in the Western Conference standings, tied with the defending champions, Denver Nuggets, with a record of 47-21.
With over 5:30 remaining in the third quarter, Utah turned over the possession while Minnesota forced a fastbreak. Edwards played give-and-take with Nickeil Alexander-Walker and drove to the middle of the lane. The 22-year-old guard took flight and threw down the ball into the rim, however, his left-hand finger dislocated in the sequence while Collins suffered a head contusion.
