Top Anthony Edwards News

  • Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Set to undergo knee surgery

    Edwards will undergo arthroscopic right knee surgery and is expected to miss up to two months, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

    This is a tough blow after a torrid start to the season for Edwards, and it looks like we might not see him again until 2027. Ayo Dosunmu will likely be elevated to a starting role while Edwards is sidelined, while LaMelo Ball, Jaden McDaniels and Jonathan Kuminga will see a bump in usage. There will also be more minutes available for Terrence Shannon, Bones Hyland and Cody Williams.

  • Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Questionable for Wednesday

    Edwards (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.

    Edwards has been playing through knee pain this season, but it hasn't impacted his numbers, as he's already had two 40-plus-point performances. However, it's possible he could get hit with a maintenance day against the 1-3 Warriors. If Edwards is out, Ayo Dosunmu would have a chance to start, and there would be more minutes available for Terrence Shannon and Bones Hyland.

  • Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Strikes for 47 points

    Edwards totaled 47 points (19-34 FG, 5-15 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks in 41 minutes during Monday's 127-125 overtime loss to the Cavaliers.

    The Timberwolves weren't sure Edwards was going to suit up Monday, as the team was pondering a maintenance day for the star guard, but he was given the green light to play and put on a show. He turned in a game-high 47 points and reached the 40-point threshold for the second time through four games to open the new campaign. However, it wasn't quite enough to carry Minnesota to a victory, with Donovan Mitchell leading the charge for Cleveland to spoil Edwards' big night.

    Edwards (knee) is available for Monday's game against Cleveland.

    The Timberwolves were considering a maintenance day for the superstar guard, but Edwards is suiting up for the second end of this back-to-back set. He should be able to handle a normal workload Monday, barring any setbacks.

    Edwards (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against Cleveland.

  • Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Shot goes missing Friday

    Edwards produced 15 points (5-23 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and four steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 115-93 victory over Orlando.

    After a red-hot opening game, Edwards came crashing back to earth Friday, shooting just 5-of-23 from the field. While it wasn't his night offensively, he did manage to record a game-high four steals, salvaging what was otherwise an underwhelming effort. The fact that Minnesota easily accounted for Orlando despite Edwards' struggles bodes well for the season ahead. As for Edwards, he will look to get back on track in what promises to be a mouthwatering matchup against the Raptors on Sunday.

  • Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Drops 45 points on Opening Night

    Edwards ended with 45 points (16-29 FG, 9-17 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block across 33 minutes in Wednesday's 131-106 victory over Miami.

    Edwards was dominant Wednesday, setting a new franchise Opening Night scoring record to lead the Timberwolves to a victory to begin the 2026-27 campaign. The 2020 No. 1 overall pick averaged a career-best 28.8 points along with 5.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.4 steals over 35.0 minutes per contest in 2025-26. However, he appeared in only 61 games, marking the first season of his career with fewer than 72 appearances. Edwards has MVP potential, and while he'll face heavy competition for the award, he could at least be a finalist at the end of the year, assuming he stays healthy.

  • Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Ready for regular season

    Edwards (rest) is expected to play in Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Heat.

    The Timberwolves rested most of their projected regular-season rotation Wednesday, though Edwards should be back in action Wednesday. The star shooting guard appeared in four games this preseason, averaging 19.8 points, 2.3 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 0.8 steals across 22.6 minutes per contest.

  • Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Will miss preseason finale

    Edwards (rest) won't play in Friday's preseason finale against the Bulls, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports.

    Edwards, Rudy Gobert, LaMelo Ball and Ayo Dosunmu all appear to be resting Friday. Edwards should be good to go for the regular-season opener against the Heat on Wednesday.

  • Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Leads Timberwolves in scoring

    Edwards ended with 20 points (5-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 9-9 FT), three assists and two steals over 28 minutes in Wednesday's 128-106 preseason loss to the Pistons.

    Edwards had trouble finding the net Wednesday. However, he has been known to have occasional shooting slumps throughout his career, so his performance against Detroit shouldn't be a cause for concern. The 2020 No. 1 overall pick had his best year in 2025-26, averaging 28.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.4 steals across 35.0 minutes, though he appeared in fewer than 72 regular-season games (61) for the first time since entering the NBA.

  • Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Leading scorer in preseason win

    Edwards closed with 26 points (8-16 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 25 minutes in Monday's 122-104 preseason win over the Knicks.

    Edwards returned from a one-game absence for rest purposes and looked fantastic, knocking down a game-high five triples en route to finishing as the game's leading scorer. The star guard has scored in double figures in all three of his preseason appearances, though Monday marked his heaviest workload yet, surpassing the 20-minute mark while also reaching 20-plus points for the first time.
