Recently, a video went viral in which a female named Sofia Pineda claimed to have assisted the Timberwolves star guard in cheating on a math test during their high school years. She even displayed her text exchanges with Edwards via X (previously Twitter), claiming to have been in high school with ANT.
“I think today is the perfect day to flex,” Pineda says on the video, noting it was NBA Draft day. “That I went to school with Anthony Edwards and helped him cheat in Algebra 2.”
“He swore that he was smarter than me, but I helped him cheat,” Pineda bragged.
She also dropped some receipts of a video of Anthony Edwards in class with her on the alleged test day and some text messages that were exchanged, showing a homework assignment.
According to her TikTok username, Sofia Pineda is the woman who was Anthony Edwards’ classmate in high school and helped him cheat on an Algebra 2 match test. The video of hers which has gone viral on TikTok is five years old. The three-time NBA All-Star has not yet addressed the matter or acknowledged the video’s veracity, though.

Edwards stays on the rise both statistically and socially, merging his on-court success with unexpected viral moments. He is a player to keep an eye on as the season goes on because of this dual narrative, which keeps him in the spotlight.
Anthony Edwards’ career
The early years of Edwards’ life were spent in Oakland City, Atlanta, Georgia. His father nicknamed him “Ant-Man” when he was three years old. Edwards spent a large portion of his early years playing football as a cornerback, running back, and quarterback.
At the age of ten, he was among the top Pop Warner running backs in the nation after playing youth football for the Atlanta Vikings.
After witnessing his boys play basketball, Edwards “thought it looked more fun” and shifted his attention to the game. At their grandmother’s house, he and his siblings frequently played basketball. He started working with Justin Holland, an Atlanta-based basketball trainer and former Liberty college player, when he started ninth grade.
