When he made the All-Star Game last season, Anthony Edwards made it as an injury replacement. Before the league announced All-Star reserves Thursday, Edwards admitted he would like to be included on the original list.
"It doesn't matter more, it's just better than being like, somebody get hurt and they pick you," Edwards said after Wolves practice on Thursday.
Edwards got his wish, and he'll have some company at this season's All-Star Game in Indianapolis on Feb. 18 as Karl-Anthony Towns made it for the fourth time in his career.
The Wolves were promoting three candidates for the All-Star Game: Edwards, Towns and Rudy Gobert.
