 Anthony Edwards Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Minnesota Timberwolves superstar Anthony Edwards is hitting new highs both on and off the court in early October 2025, and he’s everywhere the spotlight shines. ESPN just ranked him the No. 6 player in the NBA for the 2025-26 season—jumping four spots to land ahead of legends Stephen Curry and LeBron James, According to The Times of India, Edwards made that leap thanks to his high-flying 27.6 points per game last season, a league-leading 320 three-pointers at a sizzling 39.5% clip, and back-to-back Western Conference finals for the first time in Timberwolves history. He even helped ease newcomer Julius Randle into the lineup after the Karl-Anthony Towns trade to New York, with Randle rewarding the team’s faith with a strong performance and a $100 million extension. Edwards is now undeniably the franchise cornerstone, promising after a five-game conference finals loss to OKC that “no one would work harder” to improve, The Times of India reports.

Just days ago, Ari Emanuel’s new holding company MARI—home to major tennis assets—made headlines when Sports Business Journal revealed Edwards is part of a powerhouse investor group including Luka Dončić and Sabrina Ionescu. This signals Edwards is thinking big with his business ventures, positioning himself alongside the NBA’s elite and top athletes from other sports.

But life is never all basketball and business for Ant—off the court, his custody battle with ex Ayesha Howard is heating up, with Us Weekly obtaining court filings in which Edwards’ legal team accuses Howard of turning their infant daughter’s custody proceedings into social media content, allegedly monetizing the child for sponsored deals and exploiting every development for engagement. Edwards wants to end the public battle quickly, but as of early October, Howard retains sole legal and physical custody pending future rulings, according to BCK Online. Howard has denied Edwards’ claims, insisting her financial requests were not linked to custody decisions and were instead a response to reputational harm during the prolonged litigation. Howard, who is also co-parenting with rapper Lil Baby, recently made headlines herself defending Ayesha Curry’s comments about dreams beyond motherhood, which showed up in the Sportskeeda sports gossip cycle, but that’s a tangential headline rather than a development in Edwards’ own story.

In the past 24 hours, a viral moment from a Timberwolves-Knicks preseason game had Edwards coaching a fan’s dunk attempt, playfully shouting “More legs, more legs!” as the fan missed shot after shot. The Times of India reported the clip got wild reactions online, with fans calling him “a man of the people” for his approachable courtside energy—a nice reminder of his signature charisma even in lower-stakes moments.

On the business side, adidas just launched the Anthony Edwards 2, the next chapter in his signature sneaker line, and while not a news bomb, it underlines his growing global brand as he heads into his sixth NBA season.

Former NBA star Kenyon Martin recently urged Edwards to level up his mentality, telling those on Iman Shumpert’s show that Edwards has “all the skills, all the dog,” but needs Kobe-esque focus to reach the next peak. As the West gets tougher, Edwards’ killer instinct will be tested—and if he can mature mentally as rapidly as he has physically, Minnesota could become a true contender.

So there you have it—Anthony Edwards is ascending the NBA’s Mount Rushmore, expanding his business empire, navigating high-profile personal drama, and keeping fans glued to their feeds with viral charm and hard work.
