This is in reference to CJ McCollum’s infamous tweet reply to an X user named Jennifer in 2018 in which he said, “Im trying Jennifer.”

Edwards has long looked up to Durant, so this must have been a surreal feeling for him. Durant was seen giving Edwards pointers after practice.

One of the always fascinating subplots about Team USA is the wisdom the veterans fan share with the young stars.
Kevin Durant talked to Anthony Edwards about his follow-through on his shooting mechanics at today’s practice.

Durant’s status for Team USA’s opening game of the 2024 Paris Olympics on Sunday against Serbia is up in the air after he missed all five of the team’s exhibition games leading up to the Olympics.
Edwards led the Minnesota Timberwolves to a first-round sweep over Durant and the Suns in April.
