Anthony Edwards happy to cede PG duties to LaMelo Ball

Anthony Edwards expressed satisfaction with Minnesota’s offseason moves and indicated he is comfortable stepping back from primary point‑guard responsibilities now that LaMelo Ball has joined the Timberwolves. The team sits at 49–33, a .598 winning percentage that places them sixth in the Western Conference, with a power‑ranking of ten and a recent two‑game winning streak, though they have gone 5‑5 in their last ten games and hold a net rating of +3.4.

Ball arrives with a season average of 20.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game over 72 contests, and will be expected to run the offense as the new primary ball‑handler. The trade that sent forward Naz Reid and draft considerations to Charlotte for Ball and guard Josh Green also coincided with the re‑signing of guards Jaylen Clark and Ay…, giving Minnesota a refreshed backcourt to develop chemistry with Edwards as the team looks to improve consistency and climb the playoff ladder.
