Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards brings joy to fans with his play on the court, as well as his actions off it. After meeting a young fan with cancer, Edwards exploded for one of his best games of the season while wearing one of his wristbands.

On Saturday night, after scoring 53 points in a 119-105 loss to the Detroit Pistons, Edwards met Luca, a 6-year-old cancer patient. The young fan wore an Edwards jersey and a sign reading: “To do: 1. Beat cancer 2. Be the next MJ.”

Edwards spoke with Luca, autographed his sign and jersey and made him a promise.

“You know what, Luca?” Edwards said. “I will wear this for the rest of my career on my left armband, just for you.”

After that, Edwards took Luca into the Timberwolves locker room and introduced him to a handful of teammates, who also received wristbands.

In the Timberwolves’ next game, against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday, Edwards played exceptionally while wearing the wristband. He had 37 points, eight assists and seven rebounds while leading Minnesota to a 108-106 victory.

A day later, still true to his promise, Edwards dropped 32 points and nine rebounds in a 104-97 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans.
