The Minnesota Timberwolves welcomed Anthony Edwards into the lineup for the first time in the 2023-24 preseason as they took on the Dallas Mavericks for the second straight game in Abu Dhabi. The Timberwolves were coming off a blowout win, 111-99, against the Mavericks on Thursday afternoon. In that first half of that game, Karl-Anthony Towns served as Minnesota’s primary scorer, finishing with 20 points on 8-of-16 from the floor.
On Saturday, we got a glimpse at the big three of Edwards, Towns, and Rudy Gobert for the first time since the team was eliminated against the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the NBA Playoffs.
