Anthony Edwards ineligible for NBA postseason awards after Timberwolves rule
him out against Pistons
DETROIT (AP) --- Anthony Edwards is ineligible for NBA postseason awards
because he can't reach the 65-game minimum after the Minnesota Timberwolves
ruled out him out against the Detroit Pistons on Thursday night, listing his
right knee injury and an illness.
He has played in 59 games, but just 58 count toward the league's record of
games and Minnesota has six games left in the regular season.
Edwards did not play in Detroit, one game after he scored 17 points in 23
minutes in a win over Dallas in his first game in two weeks. He returned
against the Mavericks after missing six games due to his right knee ailment.
The four-time All-Star, and two-time all-league guard finished seventh in NBA
MVP voting in each of the last two seasons.
Edwards is averaging a career high with 29.3 points per game, but won't play
70-plus games as he did in each of his first five seasons in the league.
