Anthony Edwards was looking more like Anthony Edwards the “ER” actor on Tuesday night.

The Minnesota Timberwolves star Edwards had a nightmare first half during Game 1 of his team’s second-round playoff series against the Golden State Warriors. Playing at home at Target Center in Minneapolis, Minn., Edwards scored zero points in the first quarter and then just one point in the second quarter.

He went into halftime shooting 0/8 from the field (including 0/3 from deep) and 1/2 from the free throw line. As a team, the Timberwolves also scored just 31 points (their lowest in a single half all season) and trailed the Warriors 44-31 at the break (in spite of Steph Curry exiting for good early in the second quarter due to a hamstring injury).

Users on X certainly did not have any sympathy for Edwards’ complete no-show in the first half. They hit him with a deluge of cruel memes. Check it out below.

The three-time NBA All-Star Edwards averaged a career-high 27.6 points per game during the regular season and 26.8 points per game during Minnesota’s first-round victory over the Los Angeles Lakers (including a 43-point outing in Game 4). That made his disappearing act in Game 1 against the Warriors all the more shocking.

Edwards was clearly looking forward to this playoff matchup against Golden State, a chance that he had been hoping to get for years. But his opening act to start things off on Tuesday could not have gone any worse.
