The Minnesota Timberwolves and star guard Anthony Edwards agreed to a five-year, $260-million designated rookie maximum extension, his agents told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Edwards’ new deal is fully guaranteed with no options, sources told The Athletic’s Shams Charania. He’s the fourth player from the 2020 draft class to receive a five-year max extension, joining Tyrese Haliburton, LaMelo Ball, and Desmond Bane.
“I’m humbled, appreciative, and excited to remain in Minnesota as a part of this incredible Timberwolves organization,” Edwards said Monday in a statement to Wojnarowski. “It’s amazing to see where hard work can take you.”
