Edwards Aims Higher in 2025-26 Season

Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards is taking a fresh approach as the 2025-26 NBA season begins, particularly when facing off against lower-tiered teams. During media day on Monday, Edwards shared his ambitious goal: to achieve a new career-high in points each time he faces a subpar opponent this season.

Last season, Edwards showcased his scoring prowess by averaging a career-best 27.6 points over 79 games, while also shooting an impressive 39.5 percent from beyond the arc. Despite these achievements, he occasionally struggled with shooting consistency and had some subpar scoring games, suggesting that there remains untapped potential in his game.

Analysts and fans alike believe that with heightened consistency, Edwards has the ability to elevate his performance to MVP-caliber levels. After leading the Timberwolves to the Western Conference Finals in consecutive years, his motivation to help the franchise reach the NBA Finals for the first time has never been stronger.

As the season progresses, teams at the bottom of the standings should take notice: Edwards is prepared to bring his A-game, aiming to put up extraordinary numbers and solidify his status as one of the league's elite players.
