Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Nets 14 points with two blocks
Rotowire
Edwards notched 14 points (4-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two swats over 18 minutes in Monday's 116-97 preseason win over the Bucks.
Edwards was a bit rusty in his preseason debut, converting just one of his seven three-point attempts while also coughing up two turnovers, but he did a nice job of getting to the line and he was locked in on defense. Edwards was a top-15 player last season with averages of 28.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 3.4 triples, 1.4 steals and 0.8 swats per contest, and he could be even better coming into his age-25 season.
Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: New backcourt partner coming

The Timberwolves' acquisition of LaMelo Ball gives Edwards the star playmaker Minnesota has long sought alongside him, according to Cholo Magsino of Yahoo Sports.
Edwards should benefit from reduced creation responsibilities after frequently serving as the team's primary offensive initiator in recent seasons. The addition of Ball could improve Edwards' efficiency while allowing him to focus more heavily on scoring and defense. Edwards still projects as Minnesota's franchise centerpiece entering 2026-27.
