Team USA star Anthony Edwards had a surprise birthday party in Paris on Sunday night during the Olympics, sources exclusively tell Page Six.

The NBA star turned 23 on Aug. 5, days before the American basketball squad heads to the quarterfinals against Brazil on Tuesday at the Paris games.

Spies said that Edwards’ party was at the Parisian Italian eatery Giulia — and that attendees included members of the USA basketball team, women’s basketball team, the gymnastics team and family members, plus Timberwolves owner Alex Rodriguez.

A source told Page Six of the scene, “Anthony and A-Rod were hanging out all night.”

Edwards has been a star of the Olympics on and off the court.

The Timberwolves star poured in 26 points on 11-for-15 shooting in the team’s last game, as future Hall of Famers Steph Curry, LeBron James and Kevin Durant took a backseat.

Edwards has also been a viral star off the court after Curry called for Edwards across a Team USA boat at the games’ opening ceremonies, saying the US women’s table tennis team believed they could keep the Timberwolves star scoreless in a hypothetical match.

Curry brought a couple of the team members — including Lily Zhang, Amy Wang and Rachel Sung — over to Edwards, who playfully didn’t back down from the challenge.

“I got some people telling me they could beat me in ping pong 21-0,” Edwards said into a microphone. “I don’t believe it. I don’t believe it. I don’t believe it. I’m not having it.”

He was later seen cheering on the table tennis squad in the stands, and the ping pong mavens reciprocated by attending a basketball team practice and greeting Curry and Edwards.

USA teammate Kevin Durant wished Edwards a happy birthday as well on social media.
