Wednesday, October 28 2026 - Minnesota Timberwolves player Anthony Edwards has asked a court to place a portion of his child support payments into a trust, raising concerns about his former partner Alexandria Desroches’ online sports gambling.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Edwards said
Desroches testified that she had used DraftKings to gamble dozens of times a
month during 2025 while arguing that the child support she received was
inadequate.
Edwards and Desroches share a son, Amir, who was born in
2023. The basketball player was previously ordered to pay $14,000 a month in
child support.
In the documents, Edwards expressed concern that some of the
payments could be used for gambling. He asked the court to direct a portion of
the support into a trust and appoint a trustee to manage distributions. He also
alleged that Desroches had omitted income from her financial disclosures,
including cash tips from a second job, and overstated expenses connected with
their child.
Desroches opposed the request. In her response, she alleged
that Edwards had not sought parenting time with their son, had never met him in
person and did not know whether he had sent the child a gift. She acknowledged
using DraftKings but said her wagers were approximately $10 and had been
“placed out of boredom”. She added that she had since stopped using the
account.
Desroches said records showed that her total DraftKings
activity had a net of $998.20 for 2025. The report did not specify whether that
figure represented a net gain or loss. The claims made by both parties are
contained in court filings and have not been established as findings by the
court. Edwards recently concluded a separate legal dispute with Ayesha Howard
concerning their daughter.
