During the 2024-25 season, Edwards will embark on this new chapter of his career, reaffirming his status as one of the league’s brightest stars.

Anthony Edwards, the NBA All-star from the Minnesota Timberwolves is off to an amazing start. The sizzling shooting guard for the Timberwolves scored an average of 24.6 points last season. Not only that, he even bagged a jaw-dropping contract extension that turned a lot of heads.

A whopping contract extension

While Edwards’ on-court prowess continues to amaze, his team recently decided to secure the 22-year-old’s services for the near-future.

The young NBA star recently penned a lucrative five-year contract extension with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Valued at an impressive $260 million, the contract showcases the Timberwolves’ unwavering faith in Edwards’ potential.

However, the eye-popping sum is contingent on certain conditions. Should Edwards secure a spot on the 2024 All-NBA team and the salary cap increase for the 2024-2025 season remains within 10%, the contract’s total value could reach the staggering $260 million mark.

Even without the All-NBA honor, Edwards’ earnings under the contract could still rise to a substantial $217 million. Moreover, he is now certified by KG as he is steaming ahead in full force.
