Anthony Edwards is ineligible for NBA postseason awards because he can’t reach the 65-game minimum after the Minnesota Timberwolves ruled out him out against the Detroit Pistons on Thursday night, listing his right knee injury and an illness.
He has played in 59 games, but just 58 count toward the league’s record of games and Minnesota has six games left in the regular season.
Edwards did not play in Detroit, one game after he scored 17 points in 23 minutes in a win over Dallas in his first game in two weeks. He returned against the Mavericks after missing six games due to his right knee ailment.
