Anthony Edwards Impresses in Timberwolves Preseason

Edwards has carried that scoring form into the preseason. He opened with 14 points against the Milwaukee Bucks before scoring 19 against the Indiana Pacers.

His best performance came against the New York Knicks on October 12, when he recorded 26 points on 8-of-16 shooting, including five three-pointers, in Minnesota’s 122-104 victory.

The Timberwolves lost 128-106 to the Detroit Pistons on October 14, but Edwards still finished with 20 points and three assists.

He struggled with his shooting, making just five of 15 field-goal attempts, including one of five from beyond the arc.

Minnesota has also added LaMelo Ball to its backcourt, giving Edwards another playmaker alongside him.

This will allow Edwards to return to his natural shooting guard position instead of carrying as much responsibility as the primary point guard. If the new partnership clicks, the Timberwolves could have another dimension to their offense.

Edwards’ warning may be playful, but his preseason performances suggest he is ready to attack the new campaign. Staying healthy will be crucial as Minnesota looks to make another deep playoff run.
