Chris Hine: Another leap for Ant? Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards is improving his game in Year 6.
Anthony Edwards is in his sixth NBA season, but he is still only 24 years old. These two numbers can lead to some conflicting viewpoints among fans. In six seasons, it’s easy to say Edwards should have the league figured out by now after more than half a decade in it — that he should be consistently great night in and night out.
While Victor Wembanyama admitted the thriller vs. the Timberwolves was among his most fun games, he clarified why it marked a huge win.
Overall, the team has chosen a great time to break out of their shooting slump, as Denver (rather shockingly) holds their ground, and Minnesota surges. It’s a small sample size, but the Spurs are back in the top 10 in 3-point percentage and threes made over the last three games. More of that please!

Ingles was inactive for Saturday's 126-123 loss to the Spurs due to a personal matter. The 38-year-old hasn't been a regular part of the Minnesota rotation this season, so his absence Saturday didn't affect how head coach Chris Finch distributed the minutes. Ingles' next chance to suit up will come Tuesday in Utah.
