Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves are getting ready to start the 2023-2024 NBA season. As many members of the basketball community should be aware, Edwards is a young and upcoming star for the Timberwolves. He has already transformed into a face for the franchise and managed to carry them back into relevance.
The 2022-2023 NBA playoffs ended for the Timberwolves with a first-round exit at the hands of the Denver Nuggets within 5 games.
