Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards Tweaks Free-Throw After Cuban Callout

Anthony Edwards says he quietly changed his free-throw routine after Mark Cuban pointed out he “steps over the line” and could draw more calls. Edwards admitted, “I just gotta change my free throws,” and the tweak hasn’t hurt him — he’s at 81.4% this season (80.4% career) while averaging 28.0 points and strong shooting splits. Merlin sees a small adjustment with big meaning: when veterans, owners and coaches notice, a young star listens. This was not a panic move but professional housekeeping — Edwards kept his rhythm and production, a sign he’s learning to protect his game from petty technicalities while getting steadier as a leader.
