So an NBA player and Instagram model walk into a bar …
Anthony Edwards, who is a guard for the Minnesota Timberwolves, is publicly apologizing for text messages in which he urged a woman to abort her baby — a baby who also belonged to him.
Taking to his social media Monday, Edwards released a statement to address the text conversation between him and a woman who he apparently impregnated. (RELATED: Miami Heat Branded ‘Realistic’ Landing Spot For Utah Jazz’s Lauri Markkanen As Trade Rumors Start To Fire Up: REPORT)
“I made comments in the heat of a moment that are not me, and that are not aligned with what I believe and who I want to be as a man,” wrote Edwards. “All women should be supported and empowered to make their own decisions about their bodies and what is best for them. I am handling my personal matters privately and will not be commenting on them any further at this time.”
Here’s the text conversation in question:

I agree with her. It does sound like he’s done this before. The way he’s just repeating “Send da video,” trying to bully her into killing their baby. Gross.
But good on her for choosing life (assuming she stuck to her guns and didn’t go through with the abortion), even if it all turns out to have been a gold-digging scheme on her part.
Mostly, though, I just feel bad for the poor innocent little baby stuck in the middle of this thing.
