Anthony Edwards will not be playing Thursday. That also means he won’t be winning any NBA honors after the season.
The Minnesota Timberwolves guard became the latest NBA star to feel the bite of the league’s controversial awards eligibility rules on Thursday, when he was ruled out for the T-wolves’ game against the Detroit Pistons with right knee pain and an illness.
The absence will be his 17th of the season, making it impossible for him to reach the 65-game minimum to be eligible for All-NBA and MVP voting.
