Anthony Edwards wears the bracelet given to him by a young fan with cancer

After dropping a career-high 53 points in a 119-105 loss to the Detroit Pistons on Saturday, Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards had a memorable encounter with a young fan after the game.

Edwards met Luca, a 6-year-old Timberwolves fan with leukemia. who attended the game wearing Edwards’ jersey. Luca sat on the court and held a sign that said: “What to do: 1. Beat cancer 2. Be the next MJ.”

Once Edwards read the sign, the Timberwolves star exclaimed that he loved it. He asked if Luca wanted him to sign it, and he did.

Edwards also signed Luca’s jersey and took a photo with the group while happily showing off the sign. Then she recognized the bracelet Luca gave her earlier. It included the phrase “love like Luca,” prompting Edwards to offer a statement.

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

The two-time NBA All-Star walked Luca through the locker room after they met. Edwards’ Timberwolves teammates, including Mike Conley, Naz Reid and Donte DiVincenzo, also received bracelets.

Edwards kept his word and wore the bracelet at the Timberwolves’ next game on Monday.

He had 37 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds in a 108-106 victory over the LA Clippers. Twenty-seven of those points came in the second half, as Minnesota rallied from a 19-point first-half deficit.

The Timberwolves will play again on Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans, and Edwards will surely wear Luca’s wristband.
