NBA: Anthony Edwards Helps Minnesota Timberwolves Pip Brooklyn Nets 105-90

Anthony Edwards shook off an injury scare and finished with 28 points to lead the Minnesota Timberwolves past the Brooklyn Nets 105-90 in the NBA on Friday (April 4, 2025) for their fourth straight win. Edwards, who also added five rebounds, appeared to avoid serious injury when he briefly left the game after he stepped backward onto the foot of Nets coach Jordi Fernandez while making a 3-pointer late in the second quarter. Edwards was helped off the court, but returned for the start of the second half. Rudy Gobert added 21 points for Minnesota while shooting 9 of 10 from the field and adding 18 rebounds. Nic Claxton had 18 points for Brooklyn and Dariq Whitehead scored 17.
