Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards added another milestone to his resume Sunday night.

The 24-year-old shooting guard captured the 2026 NBA All-Star Game MVP award for the first time in his career, leading the USA Stars to a dominant 47-21 win over the Stripes team in the championship game.

Edwards scored eight points in the final, adding four rebounds and two assists as Team USA controlled the action from start to finish.

Consistent Impact Throughout the Night

Edwards’ MVP honor reflected his performance across all three contests during All-Star festivities. He totaled 32 points for the USA Stars, including a team-high 13 points in their opening matchup — a 37-35 overtime victory over the World squad.

His explosiveness and confidence set the tone early, and he remained one of the most dynamic players on the floor throughout the event.

Joining Timberwolves History

With the award, Edwards joins franchise legend Kevin Garnett as the only players in Timberwolves history to earn All-Star Game MVP honors. Garnett previously won the award in 2003.

The recognition adds to Edwards’ rapidly growing résumé as one of the league’s brightest young stars. Already established as the face of Minnesota’s franchise, he now owns a signature All-Star moment to match his rising profile.

For Edwards, the MVP trophy marks another step forward — and a reminder that the Timberwolves guard continues to ascend on the NBA’s biggest stages.
