NBA Announces Anthony Edwards News After Warriors' Loss to Timberwolves

The Minnesota Timberwolves secured a 117-110 victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals, taking a commanding 3-1 series lead. Anthony Edwards led the charge with 30 points, including 16 during a pivotal third-quarter run that shifted the game's momentum.

Since his playoff debut in 2022, Edwards has consistently elevated his game in the postseason. He has played a significant role in the Timberwolves' recent playoff successes, including series victories over teams led by Kevin Durant, Nikola Jokic, LeBron James, and Luka Doncic.

This continued in Minnesota's Game 4 win over Golden State, as Edwards put his team one win away from the Western Conference finals.

Edwards' performance in Game 4 marked his 13th career playoff game with 30 or more points, placing him fifth all-time for players under the age of 24. The NBA announced this major news after the game, revealing the rest of the list that includes three current or former Lakers players.

Edwards trails only James (21), Kevin Durant (17), Kobe Bryant (17), and Doncic (17) in this category.

This achievement underscores Edwards' emergence as a premier playoff performer at a young age, and puts him in elite company.

The Timberwolves will look to close out the series in Game 5, scheduled for Wednesday at the Target Center. A win would secure their second consecutive appearance in the Western Conference Finals. The Warriors, facing elimination, will be without star guard Stephen Curry, who has been ruled out with a hamstring injury.
