Anthony Edwards makes NBA history with Timberwolves-Bulls

The Minnesota Timberwolves recorded their fifth win of the season on Thursday night, defeating the Chicago Bulls at United Center. Minnesota entered this game just 4-3 on the season and looking to build on their convincing win over the Charlotte Hornets on Monday.

Star guard Anthony Edwards scored 21 points in the win over Charlotte, giving him seven straight 20-point games to start the season. Taking that to the next level on Thursday, Edwards finished with 33 points in the win over Chicago.

For Edwards, this was his 69th career 30-point game, with Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis ranking 15th all-time among players 23 or younger (via Basketball Reference’s StatHead). Edwards doesn’t turn 23 until this summer and will likely rise very high on this list.

The next player to catch Edwards on this exclusive list is Bulls legend Michael Jordan, who had a career-high 78 30-point games before his 24th birthday.

Tying Davis to this list is just one way Edwards made age-related NBA history in this game. With his 39th career game of at least 30 points, five assists and five rebounds (including playoffs), Edwards passed Michael Jordan for the sixth-most such games in NBA history by a player 23 or younger (via StatHead) .

Edwards has received many comparisons to Jordan in his young career, but has also made controversial comments about the Bulls legend’s era, which have not gone down well with many fans and former players. That said, the Timberwolves star continues to prove why he is one of the NBA’s best players.
