Anthony Edwards is making waves again, but not for a highlight-reel dunk or clutch performance.
This time, the Minnesota Timberwolves star is in the limelight for a legal battle. The 23-year-old has filed a paternity and child support lawsuit against his ex, Alexandria Desroches, in Georgia, setting the stage for a potentially complicated case.
According to court documents obtained by In Touch, Edwards officially confirms that he fathered a child with Desroches. However, he also challenges the legal setup regarding child support. Edwards claims the baby was conceived and born in Georgia, which could significantly impact the case, but Desroches and the child now live in New York.
Legal Implications And Background

Edwards’ rising profile in the NBA makes the timing of this lawsuit particularly notable. His name has frequently surfaced in off-court controversies, including past reports of urging women to seek abortions and having multiple children with different mothers.
While these allegations remain speculative, the latest legal action suggests an ongoing effort to define and potentially contest his parental responsibilities.
The lawsuit also adds credibility to previous reports about a woman named ‘Ally D.’ being the mother of Edwards’ son, Amir. Since Desroches is reportedly the same person, the legal battle may focus on clarifying custody arrangements, determining financial support, and establishing jurisdictional authority between two states.
Meanwhile, Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves are battling to secure the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference after last season’s run to the Conference Finals. With the playoffs approaching, the team and its fans hope this legal distraction does not impact his performance during a crucial season stretch.
As the case unfolds, more details may emerge regarding Edwards’ motivations and the potential impact on his career. For now, all eyes are on the courtroom and the basketball court, where Edwards continues to cement himself as one of the league’s brightest young stars.
