There has been plenty of discussion about who the next face of the NBA will be after LeBron James and Steph Curry retire, and Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards has been at the forefront of the conversation.

NEW YORK – Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards has been suspended one game without pay for receiving his 16th technical foul of the 2024-25 season, it was announced today by Joe Dumars, Executive Vice President, Head of Basketball Operations.

With Dalton Knecht set to score on a fastbreak, Bruce Brown committed a dirty foul, which angered both Luka Doncic and Jarred Vanderbilt. A scuffle soon broke out, with coaches and officials being forced to play peacemaker.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards was suspended for Friday night's game against the Utah Jazz after picking up his 15th and 16th technical fouls of the season in Thursday's loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. Without Edwards, Minnesota fell to Utah by a final score of 117-116.

"League sources tell The Athletic that the Mavericks and Timberwolves informally discussed the prospect of swapping Dončić for 23-year-old, three-time All-Star Anthony Edwards in the weeks before the Lakers deal went down," Amick wrote.

Anthony Edwards recorded 44 points, seven assists and five rebounds to help the Minnesota Timberwolves post a 116-98 victory over the host Phoenix Suns on Sunday night.

The Phoenix Suns (27-31) play the first of back-to-back home games against the New Orleans Pelicans (15-43) on Thursday.

The Dallas Mavericks and New Orleans Pelicans played in their first game following the NBA All-Star break on Friday. The Mavericks defeated the Pelicans 111-103 at the American Airlines Center.
