Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards has hilarious unawareness of who Lakers' No. 12 is

Anthony Edwards was on the sideline due to injury for the Minnesota Timberwolves' Wednesday night clash with the Los Angeles Lakers, but that didn't stop him from entertaining.

The most amusing moment came late in the game, when cameras were locked on Edwards while he heard a fan yell, "Who is number 12?"

Edwards perked up, threw his arms in the air, and shouted, "That's what I'm saying! I don't know!"

To be clear, number 12 is Jake LaRavia. He's a big reason the Lakers beat the Wolves.

LaRavia was nearly perfect. He shot 10-for-11 from the field, including 5-for-6 from 3-point range. He finished with 27 points, eight rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block. 

It's fair for a fan to not know who he is, while it's much more amusing for Edwards to not know, or at least act like he doesn't know.

LaRavia came to the Lakers this offseason from the Sacramento Kings, who had acquired him midway through last season from the Memphis Grizzlies.

He's known as a great shooter, and at 6-foot-7, has useful length on the wing, too.

With LeBron James, Luka Doncic, Marcus Smart and Gabe Vincent all out, the Lakers have no choice but to let LaRavia shoot early and often. He'll be a key contributor even when those guys are back, but maybe not to this extent.

For now, though, LaRavia is getting a chance to make sure everyone knows his name.
