Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards has continued his ascent as one of the NBA’s elite young stars this season.
Edwards is averaging 26.2 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.0 assists as the Timberwolves (15–4) sit atop the Western Conference standings through 19 games of the NBA season. The 22-year-old’s leap continues after he registered his first All-Star nod last season and followed it up with a spot on the U.S. national team in the FIBA Basketball World Cup this summer.
However, in a recent interview with Boardroom, Edwards revealed that he doesn’t like recognizing himself as a ‘23 All-Star because he was one of three replacements—along with Raptors’ Pascal Siakam and Kings’ De’Aaron Fox—on the NBA All-Star roster following injuries to Warriors’ Steph Curry, Pelicans’ Zion Williamson and Suns’ Kevin Durant.
