As if this past week couldn’t have gotten any better for Minnesota Timberwolves fans, the league office found a way to do just that on Monday afternoon.
The NBA announced that Wolves guard Anthony Edwards won the Western Conference Player of the Week Award for Week 3, which includes games played from November 6 through November 12. It is the first time Edwards has earned the honor in his young career, and certainly won’t be the last time. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft is the ninth Wolves player to win the award, according to the team.
