Edwards (24) is a born Amsterdammer and played together as Post and Leons in the youth of Basketball Club Apollo. In 2019 he left for America to play there in the lecture basketball. Last summer Edwards earned a contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves. So far he came out of the reserve team so far.

The regular season in the NBA runs until the beginning of April. After that, the teams that have qualified for this will play a Playoff tournament for the championship. The Timberwolves are still participating in a place in that final tournament.
