Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards now ineligible for NBA awards
New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- Anthony Edwards is ruled out of NBA postseason awards contention after missing Thursday’s game, making it impossible for him to meet the 65-game minimum eligibility requirement.
- Edwards missed the game due to a right knee injury and illness, having played only 59 games this season with six remaining in the regular season.
- Before becoming ineligible, Edwards was averaging 29.3 points, 5.1 rebounds per game, and was considered a strong candidate for an All-NBA team spot.
- His absence is significant for the Timberwolves, who are currently fighting for playoff positioning in the Western Conference, sitting sixth and close behind the fifth-seeded Rockets.
- Edwards joins other NBA stars like LeBron James and Steph Curry who are also ineligible for postseason awards due to insufficient games played this season.
