Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards named to NBA All-Star Game as replacement pick

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Anthony Edwards will be an All-Star after all.

The Timberwolves guard was added to the team on Friday, becoming the eighth player in franchise history to earn a spot in the NBA's marquee game, which will be Feb. 19 in Utah.

Sacramento's DeAaron Fox, Edwards and Toronto's Pascal Siakam will be injury replacements for Phoenix forward Kevin Durant, New Orleans forward Zion Williamson and Golden State guard Steph Curry. In typical Edwards fashion, he said he won't be shy about his upcoming time in the spotlight. He already has his sights set on winning MVP.
