The Timberwolves have signed center Jesse Edwards to a two-way contract, according to the NBA transactions log. The team has confirmed the signing in a press release.
Edwards participated in both the G League Elite Camp and the NBA’s combine but went undrafted last month. The 24-year-old spent four seasons at Syracuse, then finished up his college career at West Virginia. He played 23 games for the Mountaineers and averaged 15.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in 28.3 minutes per game.
In his last season with the Orange, the seven-f00t Edwards averaged 14.5 points, 10.3 rebounds and 2.7 blocks in 32.6 minutes while making 32 starts.
The Amsterdam native suited up for the Netherlands Senior National Team during the 2023 World Cup qualifying tournament and the 2022 EuroBasket tournament.
The Timberwolves also have 2023 draft pick Jaylen Clark on a two-way deal but still have another slot available.
Damn, now Anthony Edwards jersey will need to be edited to say A. Edwards on the back.
I wouldn’t like that as a player
Fo sho! Maybe they’ll sign another A. Edwards to a 2-way contract and Ant can have “Ant. Edwards” on his jersey.
