Edwards is averaging 25.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.4 steals per contest while shooting 44.4% from the field and 41.4% from the three-point range in 28 games.

Many believe he one day has a chance to become the face of the NBA.

Last season, Edwards led the Timberwolves to the Western Conference finals (where they lost to Irving and the Mavs in five games).

The Timberwolves have been up-and-down to start the 2024-25 season.

They are the ninth seed in the Western Conference with a 14-14 record in 28 games.

Over the last ten games, the Timberwovles have won six (but they are in the middle of a three-game losing skid).

Following their showdown with the Mavs, they will remain on the road to visit the Houston Rockets on Friday in Texas.
