Anthony Edwards BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Anthony Edwards is having a stretch that could shape his legacy on and off the court. Since turning 24 on August 5, he has entered his sixth NBA season with the Minnesota Timberwolves poised to make history. By season’s end, Edwards could become only the third player in league history to record more than 11000 points before turning 25, potentially leaping past icons like Anthony Davis, Shaquille O’Neal, and Luka Dončić. Only Kevin Durant and LeBron James have more, a company Edwards edges ever closer to, and with a career scoring average now at 23.9 points, his growing mastery as a scorer is one of the league’s biggest talking points according to Dunking With Wolves.

On the global stage, Edwards just wrapped a whirlwind trip to China for his first international Adidas tour, the AE China Tour, stopping in Shanghai, Chengdu, and Beijing, where he promoted his upcoming signature AE-2 shoes. The tour included high-profile basketball camps, immersive fan experiences dubbed “Ant Farm,” surprise appearances, and sightseeing at landmarks like the Great Wall. According to the Star Tribune and social media clips featured by Complex Sports, the Chinese fan reception matched NBA-level frenzy, with Edwards’ authenticity and high-energy style drawing parallels to the NBA’s most charismatic ambassadors.

Edwards also made news for business moves away from basketball. The Hollywood Reporter revealed that his content company, Three-Fifths Media, just inked a partnership deal with Brent Montgomery’s Wheelhouse, marking a bold play into unscripted TV. Edwards, with business manager Justin Holland, expressed excitement that this will let him shape content truer to his interests and life, as he stars in the new Netflix docuseries Starting 5. His name also came up in a congratulatory note from WME’s Jason Hodes, who cited the “explosion of athlete-led media” as a major shift in the industry.

In the NBA rumor mill, buzz is building that this might be the year Edwards makes his long-awaited leap to the All-NBA First Team, a threshold he has just missed the past two seasons after finishing seventh in MVP voting both years. Insiders see him as the Timberwolves’ best shot at hitting the 50-plus win mark and possibly contending for a title, with many pointing out that almost every NBA champion over the last 20 years had a First Team All-NBA player.

Finally, in the business news orbit, the Timberwolves face major structural change after new majority owners Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez implemented a round of layoffs, but none of these moves have touched basketball operations. If anything, Edwards is more central than ever to the Timberwolves’ ambitions both at home and as a budding global icon.
