All-Star guard Anthony Edwards is set to sign a maximum extension with the Minnesota Timberwolves that stands as the second-biggest contract in NBA history.
The Timberwolves selected Edwards with the first overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft and he has since developed into one of the league’s most explosive young players. He has established himself as the franchise’s key player with Minnesota set to build a contending roster around his talent.
Edwards was named to his first All-Star Game last season as he averaged 24.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists in just his third NBA campaign. He also performs under the bright lights of the playoffs, putting up 31.6 points per game in the Timberwolves’ 4-1 first-round defeat to the eventual NBA champion Denver Nuggets.
