Myron Gardner Advised by Coach Spoelstra After Trash-Talking Edwards

Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra addressed reserve Myron Gardner after Gardner's intense trash-talking ignited Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards during Minnesota's season-opening win. While Spoelstra expressed appreciation for Gardner's competitive 'spirit,' he made it clear that he would prefer it not be directed toward the opponent's best player, especially as Edwards went on to erupt for 45 points in the matchup.
