Edwards Returns from Injury, Drops Career-High 55 Points in Loss

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (foot) returned Saturday after missing two games for injury maintenance, exploding for a career-high 55 points (19-33 FG, 9-16 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 4 rebounds, and 3 assists in 40 minutes. He scored 39 points in the second half, including 26 in the final frame, marking his first 50-point game this season and third career, hitting a season-best nine triples. Despite his massive effort, and playing through a brief left knee issue, the Timberwolves fell 126-123 to the Spurs. This is his second time beating his personal record this month.
