Minnesota Timberwolves’ star Anthony Edwards has earned high praise from teammate Karl-Anthony Towns, who boldly declared him as the face of the league.

“He’s the face of the league. I’ve been saying that. He hates when I say it, but it’s true,” Towns said about his teammate, via ClutchPoints.

Towns’ endorsement comes after Edwards’ stellar performance in the first-round playoff series against the Phoenix Suns.

Edwards’ exceptional play was instrumental in the Timberwolves’ historic series sweep, showcasing his dominance on the court.

Despite facing formidable opponents like Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, and Bradley Beal, Edwards emerged as a standout player for the Timberwolves.

Edwards finished the first-round series against the Suns averaging 31 points, 8 rebounds, and 6.3 assists in 39.5 minutes per game.
