Minnesota Timberwolves Star Reveals He Will Likely Miss This Season's All-Star Game

The NBA All-Star Game is fast approaching, and while there have been plenty of complaints about the rosters put together, it should still be a fun event for the NBA world to come together and enjoy the sport. As of right now, the starting lineups in both conferences are filled with stars, and while there are still question marks over how hard the teams will play, the talent for this to be an intriguing event is there.

Unfortunately, we often see players pull out due to injury heading into the event, and now it appears as though that has begun. In a recent interview, Minnesota Timberwolves superstar Anthony Edwards revealed that he may not be playing in the event, given how banged up he's been in recent weeks.

"I'm kinda banged up... I may not be playing."

This season, Edwards has been one of the top names in the NBA once more, averaging an impressive 30 points, 4 assists, and 5 rebounds per game, and with these performances, it's easy to see why so many see him as a future face of the entire league.

While there were question marks over the weakness of the benches in both conferences, this will only make that worse, especially if Edwards does go on to miss the game. Ultimately, though, this season is about an NBA Championship in Minnesota, so while Edwards would no doubt love to be healthy for the All-Star Game; he knows there are much bigger stakes for him and the team in 2025–26.
