Anthony Edwards Becomes NBA’s Third-Youngest to 10,000 Points in Timberwolves’ Win Over Cavaliers

The 24-year-old joins a select group before 25, underscoring a career-best scoring year for Minnesota’s star.

Overview

  • He surpassed 10,000 with a two-point jumper at 6:54 of the fourth quarter, becoming the third-youngest ever behind LeBron James and Kevin Durant at 24 years, 156 days.
  • He is the seventh player to reach 10,000 before turning 25, joining James, Durant, Kobe Bryant, Luka Doncic, Tracy McGrady and Carmelo Anthony.
  • Minnesota beat Cleveland 131-122, with Edwards posting 25 points on 10-of-20 shooting plus nine assists and seven rebounds.
  • He reached the mark in 412 games, the 28th-fastest in NBA history and seventh-fastest among active players.
  • Edwards called the feat “cool” and said he felt “kind of sick” about passing Bryant’s age mark, while averaging about 29.3 points on roughly 50.4% shooting this season.
