The following is an excerpt from the book “Ant,” a biography of Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards written by the Minnesota Star Tribune’s Chris Hine. The book is available now for pre-order through most retailers by clicking this link.

In last year's playoffs, Edwards elevated his status as a premier scorer in the NBA, leading a sweep of the Phoenix Suns and a clutch Game 7 victory over the Denver Nuggets en route to the Western Conference Finals. Edwards averaged 27.6 points per game last postseason.

The Minnesota Timberwolves’ will have Anthony Edwards available for their final game of the regular season after the NBA rescinded the technical foul he got in Minnesota’s 117-91 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night.
