Sun Aug 20 202319:40Anthony Edwards "Unquestionably The Guy"
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards had another productive performance for Team USA, scoring 34 points in the win over Germany on Sunday. Edwards has played well in exhibition play ahead of the FIBA World Cup, prompting an endorsement after the game from head coach Steve Kerr. "He's unquestionably the guy," said Kerr. "You can see he knows it. But now the team knows it, and I think the fans see it. And he's such a dynamic young player. I think he's taking a leap." The 22-year-old finished last season by averaging a career-high 24.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.6 steals. He has also played at least 72 games every year since entering the league in 2020, including 79 last season. If Kerr is accurate with his assessment, Edwards could catapult into the MVP conversation in 2023-24.

Sun Aug 13 202309:34Anthony Edwards Leads Team USA In Scoring Versus Slovenia
Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard Anthony Edwards was Team USA's top scorer with 15 points Saturday in an easy 92-62 victory over a Luka Doncic-less Slovenia team. The Americans produced a very balanced effort, as all 12 players scored and nine finished with at least six points. Edwards also had 15 points and was tied for the team-high mark in Team USA's first pre-World Cup exhibition game versus Puerto Rico. He appears full of confidence, which should be a great thing for the national team and also the T-Wolves when the new NBA campaign eventually beings. "I can score the ball;" Edwards said following the Puerto Rico game. "I don't care about the leader. That's what I do, I score the ball. So, why would I come out here and try to do something else?" Edwards netted 24.6 points for Minnesota last season, and he looks set for a great World Cup as well.

Mon Jul 3 202317:20Anthony Edwards Gets Massive Extension
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards agreed to a five-year, $260 million max extension with the organization. The 21-year-old is one of the brightest young stars in the game, so it's not surprising to see the T-Wolves lock him up. Edwards averaged career-highs in points (24.6), rebounds (5.8), assists (4.4) last season. He'll be the team's centerpiece for years to come. Fantasy managers should expect Edwards to continue being a reliable fantasy asset next season as the Wolves attempt to reshape their roster.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards had another productive performance in the first-round series against Denver on Sunday, helping the team to stave off elimination with a 34-point effort. Edwards has led the Timberwolves in scoring in each of the four games so far and did it this time with 12-for-27 shooting from the field. He hit 5-for-16 from downtown and added six rebounds and five assists to his line with two steals and three blocks. The 21-year-old is the third-best scorer in these playoffs with a 32.3-point scoring average, and he's been a monster across the board, getting 4.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.0 blocks and 2.3 steals.

Sat Apr 22 202309:54Anthony Edwards Leads All Scorers With 36 Points In Game 3
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards led all scorers with 36 points in Friday's Game 3 against Denver, but it still wasn't enough for the team to get on the board in the series. Edwards' efficiency dropped significantly compared to his 41-point effort in Game 2, but he still shot reasonably well, finishing 10-for-22 from the field. He was 3-for-11 with the three-ball and shot 13-for-15 at the line, wrapping things up with seven rebounds, five assists, three steals and one block. The 21-year-old is averaging 31.7 points in the series but hasn't been able to save the team from a 3-0 deficit, which must be very frustrating for him. Edwards and the T-Wolves now face an elimination game Sunday.

Thu Apr 20 202311:13Anthony Edwards Scores 41 Points In Losing Effort
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards turned in his best performance of the postseason so far despite suffering a nine-point loss to the Denver Nuggets in Game 2. The up-and-coming star ended the game with 41 points, four assists, two rebounds, two steals, and three blocks on 14-for-23 shooting and 6-for-10 from beyond the arc. The issue for Minnesota is that they can't get everyone playing at a high level at the same time. They'll head back home down 0-2 in the series, but Edwards hitting his stride could be a good sign that they will avoid a sweep in the first round.

Sun Apr 9 202308:04Anthony Edwards Tallies 33 Points Against San Antonio
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards scored a game-high 33 points on 13-for-25 shooting in Saturday's 151-131 win over San Antonio. He hit 4-for-9 from deep and completed his line with five rebounds, three assists and two steals in just 25 minutes of action. That's now three 30-point efforts in five games for Edwards, and he should aim to record another one Sunday against New Orleans, as the Timberwolves still have something to play for and will be aiming to get home-court advantage for the play-in tournament. Edwards has crushed it against New Orleans this season, averaging 32.0 points with 6.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists.

Edwards finished the game with 37 points, six assists, five rebounds, and one steal on 15-for-30 shooting overall and 3-for-8 from beyond the arc. The former number-one pick is currently ranked in the top 40 in nine-category formats.

Sun Apr 2 202313:46Anthony Edwards On The Injury Report Again
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (illness) is questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Trail Blazers. The 21-year-old has battled an illness of late, although it hasn't kept him off the floor. Minnesota is also trying to make the postseason, so Edwards will likely be out there. But if he can't suit up, Jaylen Nowell (knee) and Austin Rivers (illness) could see extra work. However, both men are also questionable, so there's a chance Nickeil Alexander-Walker makes an appearance. That said, Alexander-Walker is far from a dependable DFS option, even if he cracks the starting lineup.

Sat Apr 1 202318:53Anthony Edwards Uncertain For Sunday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The young guard has played through an illness in each of the last two games. The assumption is that Edwards would suit up once again on Sunday, but it depends on how he's feeling. That being said, fantasy managers will have to check back on Sunday for another update. His absence would mean increased playing time for Nickeil Alexander-Walker.

Fantasy managers should double check their lineups and make sure Edwards isn't sitting on the bench.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (illness) was unable to suit up for practice on Friday. It sounds like the 21-year-old is dealing with a non-COVID related illness, so the team decided to give him a rest day. The good news is, Edwards isn't dealing with a sprained ankle anymore. The Wolves don't play again until Sunday versus the Golden State Warriors. That means, Edwards will get some time to rest and recover ahead of that game. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on Edwards.

Tue Mar 21 202321:02Anthony Edwards May Play Against Houston
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (ankle) is questionable to play Wednesday versus the Houston Rockets. Edwards has missed the past two games with an ankle sprain, but there is optimism he could return on Wednesday. If Edwards is cleared, Taurean Prince should move back to the bench. Prince had himself a game on Monday, shooting a perfect 8-for-8 from three on his way to 35 points in 32 minutes.

Sun Mar 19 202318:44Anthony Edwards Questionable Versus Knicks
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (ankle) is questionable to play versus the New York Knicks on Monday with a right ankle sprain. Edwards missed Saturday's game with the sprain and was seen in a walking boot, but recent reports state Edwards is no longer wearing the walking boot. All signs point to Edwards progressing quickly in his recovery and there is an outside shot he plays on Monday. If Edwards returns, Taurean Prince should return to the bench following his short stint in the starting lineup.

Sat Mar 18 202318:10Anthony Edwards Won't Play On Saturday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Toronto Raptors. The 21-year-old suffered an ankle sprain on Friday and it sounds like the issue is still bothering him. That being said, Edwards will at least miss this game, but he could have an extended absence. The Wolves are already banged up, so Nickeil Alexander-Walker is likely to play heavy minutes on Saturday. He'll be a decent streaming option with an expanded role.

Sat Mar 18 202313:42Anthony Edwards Questionable Against Toronto
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (ankle) is questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Toronto Raptors. The 21-year-old sprained his right ankle during Friday's double-overtime loss to the Chicago Bulls, limiting him to just eight minutes on the night. The injury report paints an optimistic picture regarding Edwards' condition. However, fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to be in the lineup for this one. If that's the case, Nickeil Alexander-Walker should see additional work, with the potential for more if Austin Rivers (back) doesn't play.

Sat Mar 18 202302:14Anthony Edwards Injured On Friday Night
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (ankle) did not return to Friday's loss to the Chicago Bulls. Edwards logged only eight minutes before suffering the sprained right ankle that ended his night. He was observed in a boot, which isn't a good sign. However, he'll undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. The 21-year-old, who played 72 games in each of the last two seasons, has been as durable as it can get. He's averaged a career-high 25 points this season, so it will be a tough blow for Minnesota if he misses extended time. Nevertheless, while Edwards is sidelined, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Austin Rivers could receive additional work. But it's anyone's guess regarding who is the better fantasy option between the pair.
