Anthony Edwards Reaches 10,000 Points as Third-Youngest in Timberwolves’ Win Over Cavs

A late baseline jumper sealed the milestone in a season marked by career-best efficiency for the 24-year-old guard.

Overview

  • Edwards hit a two-point jumper with 6:54 remaining in the fourth to reach the mark during Minnesota’s 131-122 victory at Target Center.
  • He finished with 25 points, nine assists and seven rebounds, as the Timberwolves posted season highs of 57% from the field and 53% from three.
  • At 24 years, 156 days, he trails only LeBron James and Kevin Durant by age to 10,000 and is one of seven to do it before 25, alongside Kobe Bryant, Luka Dončić, Tracy McGrady and Carmelo Anthony.
  • The milestone came in his 412th game, the 28th-fastest in league history and seventh-fastest among active players.
  • Edwards said he felt "kind of sick" about surpassing Bryant’s age mark, underscoring his respect for the Lakers legend.
